Description
Menthol Crystals are a natural cooling ingredient widely used in handmade non-consumable products such as balms, salves, soaps, bath products, and topical cosmetic formulations. They provide a strong cooling sensation and a refreshing minty aroma, making them popular in products designed for soothing or invigorating effects.
In handmade skincare and body care formulations, menthol crystals are typically used in low concentrations due to their high potency. They are commonly incorporated into lip balms, massage oils, muscle rubs, foot creams, shower steamers, and cold-process soaps for a cooling and refreshing effect.
Recommended usage rates:• Balms & salves: 0.1–2%• Massage oils: 0.1–1%• Cold process soap: 0.25–2%• Shower steamers: 1–5%• Foot creams & rubs: 0.5–2%
Method of Use:Dissolve menthol crystals in a carrier oil (such as coconut, almond, or olive oil) or melt into the oil phase of your formulation. Always add in a well-ventilated area and avoid direct inhalation, as menthol vapors can be strong. Incorporate during the cool-down phase to preserve potency and ensure even distribution.
For best results, store in a tightly sealed container away from heat and direct sunlight.
