Description of key information
Additional information
Peppermint oil is a Natural Complex Substance (NCS) for which > 90% of the constituents is identified. Almost all of the constituents, comprising 93.5% of the composition of this NCS, are in the category of ready biodegradable substances. Therefore, the NCS Peppermint oil is considered as readily biodegradable.
Of the remaining 2 constituents, one comprising 4 % of the composition, is inherently biodegradable ('readily but not meeting the 10d-window') and 1 constituent (0.5%) is not readily biodegradable but complete primary degradation was observed.
As the substance is readily biodegradable, further studies on biodegradation have not been performed.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
