Menthol Crystals are naturally extracted from peppermint oil and crystallized to deliver a pure, potent cooling ingredient for cosmetic formulations. Menthol is widely valued for its ability to provide an instant cooling and soothing sensation, making it ideal for products targeting muscle relief, scalp refreshment, and skincare comfort.
These crystals dissolve easily in essential oils, carrier oils, alcohol, and warm emulsions, offering versatility for both leave-on and rinse-off products. With their bold mint aroma and strong cooling intensity, they are essential for formulations in personal care, haircare, and wellness products.
