is this food grade essential peppermint oil?

I just emailed them and this is their response: 100% Pure Peppermint oil. Food grade. Considered Therapeutic grade by many companies. Top quality Peppermint and other Essential oils such as this are very popular in cooking & baking applications among others particularly during the holiday season so in that way are fine for internal use and when properly diluted external use as well. But due to their powerful pure undiluted nature they can be irritating or toxic if not used at appropriate levels and dilutions. A few drops of peppermint oil in a glass of drinking water or a small amount of topical lotion is much too powerful for example. One needs to often think of distributing fractions of a drop with a carrier oils like olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil. Very little is required in most recipes. Always follow recipes or protocols strictly.

They explain food grade and therapeutic grade at the bottom of this page on the NOW website: http://www.nowfoods.com/Personal-Care/Quality/100925.htm

I don't know whether this is food grade or not, but I have been using it in food for a long time. You only need a drop for a drink of iced tea or if you are making icing. A tiny bit goes a long way. I have used the brand put out by Nichols Nursery which I believe is a food item. I assumed they were the same thing, so I never thought to look and see.

There is no organization that oversees therapeutic quality grades. So therefore this question cannot be answered. However, it is not Food grade (re distilled to be of the utmost purity for ingestion). This is a very strongly scented (true to name) %100 lavender officinalis oil. It is not weak in scent like the other lavender essential oils I've purchased in the past. I use it for aromatherapy, among other things around the house.

Here is a response to the same question asked on the Now Foods facebook page...'Our Essential Oils are 100% Pure, Undiluted and of the highest quality. Often called "therapeutic grade" by other companies, they are appropriate for use in all aromatherapy applications. A lot of people ask if our essential oils are edible. The answer for most is "Yes, but..." Essential oils are typically labeled For External Use Only as a warning to use them very cautiously, even such pure edible oils as those from lemon or orange peels. Essential oils are very strong and even non-toxic ones may be irritating or uncomfortable if not used carefully and sparingly.'

The listing includes calling this d-limonene, and says that it is 95% d-limonene. I've worked with a lot of chemicals where someone or other insists calling the chemical by a different name. You'd have to try it, since I think d-limonene is the same, no matter what it is called. This is marketed by a company which deals in fragrances, so I'd expect because it is food grade, you would do well with it. I'll be changing my rating to 5 stars, as my first shipment of it didn't come with an MSDS (it is combustible), but this one did.

These are therapeutic grade oils. Therefore they are meant to be made for a aromatherapy, soap making, for external uses using a carrier oil, etc. I wouldn't consider this food grade as I have not used these as that purpose. You might want to look at Now Foods. Those are food grade oils. Hope this helps.

I see a previous post, but no reply. Is this a 'food grade' or 'pharmaceutical grade' product???

Yes, this Sea Breeze is the original with peppermint oil. It is the good stuff!

Yes, it's just peppermint oil. Just dilute with another oil, like safflower so it won't be too strong. When you get a good natural peppermint flavor, that's what it is: peppermint essential oil diluted in a carrier oil.

I don't actually know, but it doesn't seem likely there would be gluten in Peppermint oil.

It can be, but I wouldn't. I would by the grapeseed oil in the cooking aisle to cook with. Thou this brand do say food grade. It is up to you if you want to use it in cooking. I use this strictly for my skin and hair products.

Yes. It is just straight food grade (safe to eat) coconut oil. You can use it in beauty products, food/cooking or any other thing you can think of.

This is a genuine Canon printer, I bought it at Amazon. I do not know what you mean by 'food grade' relating to printer products.

The quality of essential oils varies substantially. Doterra's oils are rigorously tested and are certified pure therapeutic grade.

Pure peppermint oil is what's in these. As long as you take pure peppermint there won't be much difference.

yes it is (food grade). it also has inositol in it which you can google to find out more about. inositol, generally helps cells to communicate w/in the nervous system. we've taken toxiclenz for about a year. we also found a place online to buy just the food grade diatomaceous earth and then we buy inositol thru amazon and take a tbs. of each once or twice a day. (lots cheaper) google "earthworks diatomaceous earth for placing orders and gathering info. on d.e. and testimonials.
