What mint is best for

Mint is most useful in Glow Rituals as a fresh flavor and cooling-feeling accent in smoothies, infused waters and rinse-off body or scalp recipes. It can make a drink feel brighter and a beauty ritual feel cleaner, but it does not replace sunscreen, skincare basics or professional care.

How to use it gently

What to avoid

Do not rub undiluted peppermint essential oil onto the face or scalp. Avoid mint on broken, irritated or freshly exfoliated skin, and skip it if fragrance makes your skin flush or sting.

Fresh vs shelf-stable

Fresh mint is a grocery ingredient. For pantry-friendly drink support, you may prefer gentle tea bags or dried mint from a trusted food brand.
