Wintergreen oil, 5 ml

Wintergreen Oil vs. Vegetable Oil

• Wintergreen Oil: Wintergreen oil is an essential oil derived from the leaves of the wintergreen plant (Gaultheria procumbens). It has a powerful, minty aroma and is used for flavoring and medicinal purposes.
• Vegetable Oil: Vegetable oils are fats extracted from various seeds, fruits, or nuts (like soybeans, sunflowers, olives, etc.) These are primarily used for cooking and sometimes in skincare.

What You Might Be Looking For

Here are some possibilities depending on your intended use:

• Wintergreen Essential Oil: If you're looking for the characteristic minty flavor and potential therapeutic benefits, you need wintergreen essential oil. Be sure to choose a food-grade version if you intend to use it for consumption.
• Infused Oil: It's possible to create an infused oil by steeping wintergreen leaves in a carrier oil (like olive oil or coconut oil). This won't be as concentrated as essential oil, but it can offer a milder wintergreen flavor or scent.
• Flavored Vegetable Oil: Some manufacturers offer vegetable oils flavored with artificial wintergreen. This would be primarily for culinary purposes.

Important Note: Wintergreen essential oil can be toxic in large doses. Always use it with caution and follow dilution guidelines, especially for internal use.
