Wintergreen Oil

Wintergreen essential oil, rich in methyl salicylate, is highly valued by personal care product manufacturers for use in muscle and joint ointments, sports rubs, gels, topical balms, and numbing creams. In the field of aromatherapy, this oil is often diluted in carrier oils for use in massages. Additionally, wintergreen oil is integral to the flavor profile of traditional American root beer and serves as a flavoring agent in candies, chewing gum, and various cosmetic and personal care items, including toothpaste and mouthwash.
