WS-23 Cooling Agent – Pure, Intense Cooling. Zero Menthol Taste. WS-23 is the gold standard cooling agent for creators who want serious cold without any minty flavour. Unlike menthol, which brings its own distinctive taste, WS-23 delivers a clean, powerful cooling sensation that enhances your base flavour rather than competing with it. The result is a refreshing, icy finish that feels natural and crisp — whether you’re making a sparkling beverage, a fruit gummy, or a frozen dessert. Highly potent and incredibly versatile, a little goes a very long way. Key Characteristics: Cooling type: WS-23 at 30% in Propylene Glycol (PG) Flavour impact: Virtually none — pure cooling, no mintiness Sensation: Clean, intense, long-lasting chill Solubility: Water-soluble Origin: Shipped from Australia How to Use: WS-23 is a flavour additive, not a standalone flavour.
