❄️ Wintergreen Essential Oil – Cool Relief for Pain, Clarity & Sports Blends
Wintergreen Essential Oil from Bio Shop™ is steam-distilled from the leaves of Gaultheria procumbens. It contains up to 99% methyl salicylate, a natural compound known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a top choice for muscle pain relief, joint care, and sports massage blends.
With its sharp, minty-sweet, medicinal aroma, Wintergreen also works in refreshing diffuser blends, hair and scalp tonics, and is used cautiously in perfumery as a cooling accent note.
