Wintergreen Oil

Wintergreen is a natural extract from Gaultheria procumbens, which is produced from the steam distillation of the leaves. The resulting oil contains a very high concentration of Methyl Salicylate, which has analgesic and anti-bacterial properties. Methyl Salicylate is also found in insecticides and repellents and is similar in chemical composition to Aspirin (Acetyl Salicylic Acid). Khush Ingredients sources this essential oil from China, where our supply partner annually declares compliance to Khush Ingredients’ Sustainability and Ethical policy.
