As a leading manufacturer and exporter of menthol crystals, we offer high-quality menthol crystals that are colourless, prismatic crystals derived from steam-distilled peppermint oil. Menthol is a waxy, crystalline substance that is generally white in colour and solid at room temperature. Known for its characteristic odour, this crystalline substance melts slightly above room temperature. By subjecting the distilled menthol oil to a temperature of -22°C, menthol crystallises out into solid crystals.
Known for their strong aroma, cooling, and refreshing effect, menthol crystals are generally used in cosmetics containing peppermint to enhance their cooling and freshening properties.
Use sparingly due to intense scent, typical use level 0.2-10% depending on application. Add to oil phase or down cool phase of creams 120°F/50°C. For external use only.
Balms, salves, creams, foot products and scalp treatments, cooling gels and cold remedies. Also used in throat lozenges, toothpaste, mouthwash and Skin protectant products (against insect bites).
