Wintergreen essential oil is extracted from the leaves of a low-growing shrub commonly found in coniferous forests. Its primary natural compound, methyl salicylate, is widely valued for its soothing and comforting properties, making it a popular ingredient in topical creams, massage oils, and wellness blends. Interestingly, Wintergreen and birch are the only plants known to naturally contain methyl salicylate.

In small amounts, Wintergreen oil is also used as a flavoring in products such as candies, toothpaste, and chewing gum. When diffused, it releases a fresh, minty aroma that is both uplifting and invigorating.

Through Co-Impact Sourcing®, doTERRA responsibly sources Wintergreen essential oil from rural Nepal, where local villagers wild-harvest the plants and distill the oil in community-owned facilities. This initiative helps create sustainable economic opportunities for families in these remote regions.
