Peppermint oil, in powder form, on a two-line label.

PureAcacia Organic Peppermint Oil Powder is organic peppermint essential oil (Mentha piperita) spray-dried onto organic gum acacia at a declared 8 to 12 percent oil load. It is a tan, free-flowing, water dispersible powder that carries a clean peppermint flavor and aroma into a dry blend without liquid oil handling.

The composition is organic gum acacia, organic peppermint oil, and silicon dioxide as a flow aid. Nothing else. There is no inulin, no maltodextrin, no modified starch and no caseinate, so the ingredient line on a finished pack stays short and every part of it is recognizable.

The powder is certified to the USDA National Organic Program by Oregon Tilth and is kosher pareve. It is spray-dried in the United States and stocked in our New Jersey warehouse.

Packaging.

The powder is packed 20 kg net into a heat-sealed high-barrier foil bag, filled tight with the headspace pressed out before sealing, one bag per case. Headspace is worth a sentence here: peppermint oil is volatile, and the oxygen sealed into the bag is what the powder ages against, so the fill is pressed tight.

Material is in stock in New Jersey and ships domestically. Tell us the volume the formula needs and we will confirm what we can put together, whether that is a trial quantity or a standing order.

Peppermint oil is volatile, so buying against real usage and running fresh material beats holding a year of stock. That is worth saying to any supplier, not just to us.

Where it goes.

This is a mint flavor system for dry blends. It is designed for products that carry a mint flavor all year.

Protein and greens powders

Mint chocolate, matcha mint and mint greens blends, where the flavor has to survive a scoop of plant protein and a shaker bottle.

Superfood and adaptogen lattes

Instant latte and cacao mixes reconstituted in hot water or hot milk, where a liquid oil would separate and ring the cup.

Stick packs and sachets

Single-serve formats that need dose uniformity across a small fill weight and a powder that flows on a stick-pack line.

Hot cocoa and instant drinks

Peppermint cocoa and instant beverage mixes, dosed dry with no separate oil handling step on the blend floor.

Confectionery and dry seasoning

Compressed tablets, panned coatings and dry mixes where a liquid oil would wet the blend or bleed into packaging.

Nutraceutical dry blends

Capsule and powder supplements that need a mint note and an organic, disclosed ingredient line.


What to look for in an encapsulated mint powder.

Encapsulated mint powders are sold under names that hide most of what separates them. These are the questions that resolve a spec sheet into a decision, and the answers for this product.

  • Is the oil load declared, and by what method? A powder sold as natural flavor with no percentage on the data sheet cannot be dosed by calculation, and a supplier change moves the flavor. This one is 8 to 12 percent by USP <561>, on the spec and on every certificate of analysis.
  • Is it the essential oil or the leaf? Distilled peppermint oil and milled peppermint leaf are different ingredients at very different dose rates. Ask which one is in the bag before comparing a price per pound.
  • What is the carrier, and all of it? Carrier is most of the weight you buy, and it goes on the finished label. Ask for the complete composition, not the headline ingredient. This one is gum acacia, with silicon dioxide as a flow aid.
  • Does the carrier bring inulin, maltodextrin or starch with it? Blended carriers are common and they show up on the panel. Inulin also changes mouthfeel and can read chalky in a beverage. There is none in this powder.
  • Is there an organic certificate for the finished powder, not just the oil? Organic chain of custody breaks if the carrier or the drying facility is not certified. Ask for the certificate covering the spray-dried product.
  • Where was it spray-dried? Domestic manufacture shortens a reorder and simplifies the documentation a copacker qualifies against.
  • How is it packed, and how old is the lot? A volatile oil ages against the oxygen sealed in with it. Ask how the bag is filled and what the manufacture date is, not just the expiry. This one is heat-sealed in high-barrier foil with the headspace pressed out.

Every one of those answers is on this page or in the document package.

Encapsulated oil powder and ground leaf powder are different products.

Searching for peppermint powder returns both, and they are not substitutes.

Ground peppermint leaf powder is milled dried plant material. It is green and fibrous, it carries the flavor of the leaf, and it is sold as a botanical by the pound.

Encapsulated peppermint essential oil powder is the distilled volatile fraction of the plant, spray-dried onto a carrier at a declared percentage. It is tan, it goes into solution cleanly, and it is dosed at a fraction of a leaf-powder rate because the active is concentrated. A price per pound comparison between the two is a comparison between different ingredients.

If a formula calls for mint flavor and clarity in the finished drink, the oil powder is the one. If it calls for the plant itself, leaf powder is the one, and we would say so.

Questions we get asked.

What is the peppermint oil load?

8 to 12 percent organic peppermint essential oil by weight, measured by USP <561>. It is a specification line on the data sheet and on every lot certificate of analysis, not an undisclosed natural flavor.

What carrier is the oil encapsulated on?

Organic gum acacia, also called gum arabic, CAS 9000-01-5, INS 414 and E 414. It is the only carrier in the product. Silicon dioxide is present as a flow aid.

Does it contain inulin or maltodextrin?

No. No inulin, no maltodextrin, no modified starch, no caseinate. The full composition is organic gum acacia, organic peppermint oil and silicon dioxide.

Is it certified organic?

Yes, to the USDA National Organic Program, certified by Oregon Tilth. The peppermint oil and the gum acacia carrier are both certified organic, so the finished powder carries organic chain of custody. The NOP certificate ships with the lot.

How is it sold?

Packed 20 kg net per case, in stock at our New Jersey warehouse. Tell us the volume the formula needs and we will confirm what we can put together.

How is it packed?

20 kg net into a heat-sealed high-barrier foil bag, filled tight with the headspace pressed out before sealing, one bag per case.

How does it disperse?

It is water dispersible and free flowing, so it mixes into a dry blend directly and reconstitutes in cold or hot water. Gum acacia dissolves instead of swelling, which is why the powder does not build viscosity or form gel lumps in a stick pack or a shaker bottle.

What is the shelf life?

12 months from date of manufacture, in the sealed foil bag stored cool and dry. Peppermint oil is volatile, so buy to your usage and run it fresh.

Is it kosher?

Yes, kosher pareve. Vegan, halal suitability, allergen, GRAS and non-GMO statements are all in the document package.

Where is it made?

The United States. It is spray-dried domestically at a certified organic facility and stocked in New Jersey, so there is no import lead time on a reorder.

How is this different from ground peppermint leaf powder?

They are different ingredients. Ground leaf is milled dried plant material and carries the flavor of the leaf. This is peppermint essential oil, the distilled volatile fraction, spray-dried onto gum acacia at a declared 8 to 12 percent, and dosed at a fraction of a leaf-powder rate.
