Menthol Crystals are harvested from the wild mint Mentha Arvensis in India. Our Menthol Crystals are 100% naturally derived from the oil of the plant and can be used in numerous ways. They are popular for their cooling and refreshing attributes as well as their strong minty aroma. 100% Natural | Sourced from India | Variety of Uses Menthol Crystals are used in many different cosmetic applications and products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, hair and skin creams, soaps, throat lozenges, muscle rubs, cooling agents and more. They are also often used in spa treatments, showers, baths, steam rooms and dry saunas. Menthol crystals are solid at room temperature and have a melting point of between 95°F and 111°F. Store in a cool area, away from windows, as the crystals easily melt in warm conditions. The crystals are soluble in alcohol and warm oils including essential oils. They are not readily soluble in water or glycerin, though warm water may melt them.
