What the 10-piece set contains
The package includes 10 identical 10 ml amber glass bottles, each filled with steam-distilled Gaultheria procumbens essential oil. The bottles arrive without labels, so you can apply your own branding, dosage instructions or cautionary text. Net content is 10 ml per bottle and the total weight is approximately 0.41 kg.
Botany: methyl salicylate as dominant constituent
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) is an evergreen, creeping shrub that grows in the understorey of coniferous forests in North America and certain Asian regions. Over 95% of its essential oil is methyl salicylate, a structural relative of aspirin. This elevated salicylate content gives wintergreen oil its characteristic sweet, minty aroma and its specific application profile.
Origin and production
The oil is sourced from China, from traditional cultivation regions. It is produced by steam distillation from the leaves of the plant, typically after a light pre-fermentation step. This method carries the volatile aromatic compounds with water vapour, preserving the high methyl salicylate content and the characteristic scent profile.
Applications
- Sports care: diluted into massage oil bases and muscle-care creams
- Aromatherapy: diffuser blends at low concentration
- Private-label cosmetics: warming body oils and balms
- Soap making: cold-process soap at low concentration
- Private-label packaging: small-batch resale with custom labelling
Storage and shelf life
Store the essential oil in a cool, dark place, preferably below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Protected from light and heat, Gaultheria procumbens oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Unopened bottles retain quality longer; once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.
