Wintergreen is a chemically simple oil, containing more than 99 percent of the ester, methyl salicylate - the powerhouse behind this oil’s intensely cooling aroma. Oil of sweet Birch (Betula lenta) also contains an abundance of methyl salicylate and, depending on global trade and availability, these two oils are often mistakenly sold interchangeably.
