Menthol crystals
Description: Menthol crystals are a natural product which originate from mint essential oil extraction. The crystals come from freezing the base concentrate oil. They are clear/white in colour and solid at room temperature but melt readily in water, alcohol, oil and essential oil.
Menthol crystals are cooling, refreshing and have a strong mint perfume. They are used in perfumes, nasal sprays, analgesic balms, lotions, and creams.
