After the harvest, Pavitramenthe distils the leaves and purifies the mint oil at its processing facility. All farmers have been converting their farms to regenerative organic practices and the entire project has been regenerative organic certified since 2020. Completely depends upon water amount, but roughly 2 Tbsp. soap in an average sized tub. (Doesn’t bubble, but still cleans). It’s no wonder this particular TikTok video has over 500K views with @hazelluve saying she ‘got out of the shower and stepped into the north pole’ after using this soap. Since its formation in 2015, the project has also made great strides in community development. In addition to agricultural projects, such as vermicompost pits, Pavitramenthe has facilitated and funded medical camps, the construction of home toilets and the distribution of water coolers for drinking water. These projects were paid for by the fair trade premium received from Dr. Bronner’s, the project’s primary buyer of organic mint oil.

We began purchasing organic mint oil India’s Uttar Pradesh state, in 2003. After working with other suppliers, it began, in 2015, its relationship with Pavitramenthe in Bareilly, around 250 miles east of Delhi. Both share a vision of regenerative and fair farming in rural India and of using it for development. In its soaps, we use a blend of oils from two mint species, peppermint (mentha piperita) and corn mint (mentha arvensis); this blend perfectly balances the ‘menthol punch’ of the mentha arvensis and the more aromatic flavour of the mentha piperita. Both species are now grown by some 2000 smallholder farmers. Their small fields, typically less than two acres, are farmed in rotation, growing two or three different crops every year. c.
