RICQLÈS Peppermint Extract was invented 180 years ago in the South of France.
Heyman de Ricqlès was a young silk trader with a passion for botany, and he got particularly interested in peppermint leaves. In 1838 he managed to elaborate a natural distillation process with several secret manipulations to keep intact all the properties of essential oil : RICQLÈS Peppermint Extract was born.
The success of RICQLÈS Peppermint Extract stems from several factors: its secret recipe which has not changed for over 180 years, its wonderful story through the years, its multiple benefits and the careful selection of ingredients* used to produce it.
*Ingredients : Alcohol, water, peppermint essential oil (Mentha Piperita).
RICQLÈS Peppermint Extract is 100% Natural, without any additives, preservatives or colorings.
The production process is also fully natural, which does not alter the properties of the selected mint leaves. A slow steam distillation process transforms the fresh peppermint leaves into a very high quality essential oil.
RICQLÈS’ know-how consists of selecting, purifying then associating great quality mint. The addition of alcohol and water enable to preserve all its properties over several years.
If used daily, RICQLÈS Peppermint Extract can help you find calm and serenity.
