Description
Wintergreen Leaf Powder is produced from the leaves of Gaultheria procumbens, a small evergreen plant native to North America. The leaves are harvested, dried, and ground into a fine powder that retains the plant’s natural oils, which are rich in methyl salicylate, the compound responsible for its characteristic minty aroma and medicinal effects. It is commonly used in topical applications such as balms and creams for its soothing and pain-relieving properties. Additionally, it is used in dietary supplements for its anti-inflammatory benefits and as a natural flavoring agent in oral care products.
