Product Description
Product Description
Organic Menthol Crystals are colourless to white crystalline solids derived from plant-based sources, typically extracted from peppermint essential oil through a cooling process. This solid compound is found in peppermint oil and is slightly soluble in water. Menthol exists as several stereoisomers, which is important in its chemistry and affect its activity. These crystals give an intense, signature cooling effect with a refreshing aroma and a slightly camphorous edge. Menthol is used in cosmetics, food, and liqueurs, and in skincare. It’s prepared through crystallization, and its role in formulations is to provide cooling activity. The melting point of menthol is important for its cooling sensation and solubility.
Highly concentrated and potent, menthol crystals give powerful sensory effects when used at low concentrations and percentages in skincare and body care products.
When applied topically, they give a cool, fresh sensation perfect for foot gels, cooling creams, after-sun lotions, muscle balms, and refreshing sprays.
Menthol crystals are used in aromatherapy products to create invigorating blends and in personal care products to add freshness and comfort to the skin. They are soluble in alcohol and essential oils but require emulsification for use in aqueous systems. Formulators love Organic Menthol Crystals for their flexibility and potency. A little goes a long way to elevate the sensory profile of a product and give tangible benefits to the skin. When blended with carrier oils, waxes, and emulsifiers, they give a clean, energising tingle.
How to use it
How to use it
- The crystals will easily dissolve in essential oils or alcohol.
- They will also dissolve in water or vegetable oils if heated to their melting point of 44°C but be very careful as when they melt, they will suddenly release their powerful smell and this can be irritating to the eyes if you are looking over the pan.
- The crystals are very concentrated so only small amounts are needed.
Skin Care
- Add to foot sprays to cool and refresh the feet, or cooling body products such as after sun lotions and gels that will be refreshing and invigorating whilst offering a degree of discomfort relief.
- Very stimulating and soothing at the same time when used in shaving oils and after shave balms, creams and gels.
- Could be useful in anti-itch creams and balms.
Hair Care
- Add small amounts to shampoos for a zingy, tingly effect that will feel beneficial to the scalp.
Other
- Can also be used for sports massage balms, creams and gels or compresses.
Cautions & Contraindications
As they are so concentrated, only a small amount of crystals are needed. Take care if adding them to anything warm or hot and the sudden release of the vapour could make the eyes sting.

What are menthol crystals made from?
Menthol crystals are derived from peppermint essential oil through distillation and crystallisation.
Are menthol crystals safe for sensitive skin?
Menthol can be potent. Use at low concentrations and always patch test before widespread use. Some people with sensitive skin may experience irritation or allergic reactions so extra caution is advised.
Can I use menthol in haircare?
Yes. Menthol can be added to shampoos or scalp tonics for a cooling, refreshing sensation. Some studies suggest menthol may also provide a cooling effect when inhaled during use.
Are menthol crystals vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. They are plant-derived and not tested on animals.
Do I need to melt the crystals before use?
Yes. Menthol crystals need to be dissolved into a compatible carrier (oil, alcohol or emulsifier) before adding to the final product.
Can I use menthol crystals in room sprays or diffusers?
Yes. Dissolve them in alcohol and add to your aromatic blends for a clean, minty freshness.
Do menthol crystals moisturise the skin?
On their own, menthol crystals are not emollients but when incorporated into oils, balms or butters, they support moisturising and nourishing effects.
Is there a difference between synthetic and natural menthol?
Yes. Natural menthol is derived from plants like peppermint, and synthetic menthol is chemically produced. Aromantic’s menthol is naturally derived.
What to do in case of accidental overexposure to menthol crystals?
In case of accidental overexposure (skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion,) people may experience irritation, nausea, or dizziness. Rinse the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or are severe. Immediate treatment is required in rare cases of serious reactions.
