GreenHealth Peppermint Essential Oil – 16 fl oz | 100% Pure & Uncut | Heavy-Duty Plastic Jug | FDA Compliant, Space-Saving Container | for Aromatherapy, Soap, Candles, Cleaning, DIY

Announcement of packaging upgrade:

The manufacturer of GreenHealth essential oils has notified us that they are replacing the induction sealed caps on their plastic jugs with leak-resistant child safety caps starting October 2019. All Green Health essential oils and fragrance oils shipped in white plastic jugs will be fitted with child-resistant caps going forward.

Blue tape (on the older style packaging) mystery explained:

There have been some complaints and confusion from our customers about these blue tapes used on the older style packaging. The blue tape was applied by our fulfillment team before leaving our warehouse to seal around the cap area to reduce the possibility of oil leakage during transit. These induction sealed caps, based on our experiences, are not leak-resistant for shipping essential oils.

We wanted to assure you these containers are unopened and the contents have never been tampered with. All of our products sold on Amazon are new and unopened. With the new leak-resistant packaging, we will no longer need to use the blue tape to seal around the cap area.

Description: There are several species of the peppermint plant, many of which can grow to 3 feet in height, spreading due to their underground 'runners.' The mentha arvensis peppermint has hairy leaves with serrated edges, and purple spiked flowers. This Japanese Peppermint is known for its high menthol content, so high, in fact, that menthol crystals sometimes form right on the leaves.
