Discover its properties
Peppermint has several properties: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.
Peppermint extract can be described as an antioxidant and therefore prevents the onset or spread of reactions mediated by free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative damage and preventing skin aging.
Why use Peppermint extract in your cosmetics routine
For its antioxidant effect and ability to improve skin redness. And because it leaves a pleasant and refreshing clean-skin feel.
