Menthol Crystals

Menthol crystals are produced naturally through mentha arvensis – the primary species of mint. Mentha Arvensis grows in the Uttar Pradesh region in India. Menthol crystals are cooling, refreshing, and have a strong minty aroma. Menthol crystals are best stored in place with no humidity at a temperature of about 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Because menthol crystals are very concentrated, only a tiny amount of them is needed within products. Menthol crystals are excellent for use in products that help relieve muscular aches, coughing, congestion, poor hygiene, etc. Menthol is a chemical component in many consumer products including:

•    Non-prescription products for short-term relief of minor sore throat or mouth irritation such as cough drops, oral throat sprays, throat lozenges, and lip balms.

•    Oral hygiene products like mouthwash, toothpaste, and chewing gum.

•    Decongestants for chest and sinus pressure such as Vicks Vaporub and Mentholatum.

•    Perfumes that highlight floral notes (especially the rose scent).
