Description
Menthol Crystals are highly concentrated crystalline menthol used to create a distinctive cooling sensation in cosmetic, personal care, and aromatherapy formulations. They are commonly incorporated into balms, lotions, creams, foot products, shower steamers, soaps, and other specialty formulations.
Menthol Crystals dissolve readily in oils and alcohol and can be incorporated into the heated oil phase of many formulations. Because menthol is potent, begin at a low usage level and adjust according to the intended application and applicable formulation guidelines.

Best menthol crystals! Not all menthol crystals are created equally and these are amazing! They are strong and give a great lasting power in my shower steamers. They are also great in men’s shave soap to give a cooling feel to the skin. You don’t want to pass up these!
