Same format, same carrier oil, different scent profiles and “reach for it when…” moments.
| Peppermint Roll-On | Headache Roll-On | |
|---|---|---|
| Scent | Bright, crisp single-note peppermint | Cool mint with herbal depth (lavender, rosemary, and friends) |
| Oils | Peppermint (Mentha piperita) only | Wintergreen, Peppermint, Lavender, Spearmint, Marjoram, Rosemary, Chamomile, Basil |
| Feel | Clean, invigorating cool; simple and sharp | Cooling first, then a softer mint-herbal finish |
| When to reach for it | You want pure mint—midday lift, after shower, travel refresh | Tension sits at the temples or neck after screens, work, or a long day |
| Carrier | Fractionated coconut oil | Fractionated coconut oil |
| Size | 10 ml roller | 10 ml roller |
Neither product is a drug. They are comfort aromatherapy roll-ons for external use. If headaches are severe, sudden, or frequent, talk with a clinician—these bottles do not treat migraines or replace care.
