Botanical Name: Gaultheria procumbens
Country of Origin: India
English Name: Wintergreen Oil
French Name: Huile de Gaulthérie
Also Known As: Gaultheria Oil
Part Used: Leaves of Gaultheria procumbens
Description: Wintergreen Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of Gaultheria procumbens, a low-growing, evergreen shrub native to North America, particularly in the cool temperate forests of the northeastern United States and Canada. The plant typically grows 10–30 centimetres tall, forming dense mats of small, glossy green leaves and producing delicate white to pink bell-shaped flowers in spring, followed by bright red berries in summer. Leaves are harvested at peak maturity to ensure optimal colour, aromatic profile, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the leaves are steam-distilled to extract the oil. The process preserves the natural characteristics of the plant while producing a clear to pale yellow-green oil with a fresh, sweet, minty aroma characteristic of Wintergreen. The oil is lightweight, fluid, and stable under proper storage conditions.
Wintergreen Essential Oil retains the botanical identity of Gaultheria procumbens, providing a visually consistent, aromatic product suitable for a variety of applications. The essential oil format allows for precise measuring, blending, and incorporation into liquid or aromatic formulations.
Uses: Wintergreen Essential Oil is commonly used in cosmetic formulations, perfumery, bath products, soaps, diffusers, and aromatherapy-style preparations where aromatic leaf extracts are preferred. It is also suitable for craft projects, botanical sachets, and educational collections demonstrating essential oil extraction from evergreen plants. The essential oil format allows for easy blending with carrier oils, other essential oils, or formulations, offering consistent quality, aroma, and botanical authenticity.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
