The product came well packaged in thick bubble wrap and arrived on time through Amazon Prime. It cost $14.50 before shipping and has 1 FL Oz. of 100% Pure and Natural Peppermint essential oil inside.
The bottle is made of thick brown transparent glass and has a high quality glass dropper with it as well to aid the use of the product.
There is controversy over the integrity of this product because on the front of the bottle it says 100% pure peppermint oil and then under it, it states Mentha Furan 10%. I did some research on Menthofurian for myself to see if there were any truth to peoples claims, and this is what I found:
According to Occurance of Menthofurian in Oil of Peppermint by Paul Bedoukian 1948 Methofurian is the oil that is made from the flower of the peppermint plant instead of the leaves and stems. It is not an added chemical. Thus their 100% peppermint oil checks out. Secondly this oil should not be ingested because Methofurian oil is in fact toxic when consumed, however this oil aids in the external strength of the oil. So having this slightly different oil actually benefits the people using the oil for headache relief, muscle pain, and stiff joints. It also helps its bug repelling qualities as well.
Some people who tried this product said that it didn't smell like peppermint which has a very simple explanation as well. Depending on where the plant was grown it may differ in its scent.
Overall, this product is everything that it claims so you can be assured when you buy it that you are receiving a high quality product. This oil is above therapeutic grade and is perfect for external uses. I would highly recommend this product.
