Menthol crystals

Fragrance Menthol Crystals

Ethereal Menthol crystals are refreshing, oily crystals with a fresh, sharp, slightly sweet, minty scent.

Menthol crystals are a lot more refreshing and stronger than Mint oil and Peppermint oil because this is the pure menthol component that is extracted from these oils. These crystals are extracted by freezing the (Pepper)mint oil.

You can even get cold in the sauna if you put a few menthol crystals in ice balls or in water on the sauna heater.

Operation

Natural, essential menthol crystals have a refreshing and cooling effect. The fresh and slightly sharp scent has a stimulating effect on the brain. The crystals wake you up, boost your mood and have a strong uplifting effect.

Menthol crystals help you concentrate better by sending energy to the head and brain. This makes these crystals also suitable at school while studying or at work.

Menthol is good to use on oily skin. The crystals relieve itching and have a soothing effect. These crystals provide relief for respiratory problems and many asthma patients find their inhalation pleasant.

What is the essential oil used for?

Menthol has been used for decades without side effects in medicines, cosmetics, food and drinks and in, for example, throat lozenges.

Usage

• In the sauna: add 2 to 4 crystals to an ice ball or to the water in the sauna tub

• In the steam room: add 1 to 2 crystals to a sponge and place them in a stainless steel bowl under the steam pipe

Winning

Menthol is a natural extract of the ‘Mentha Arvensis’ plant. This is a perennial plant that belongs to the Lamiaceae family (Labiatae or Lamiaceae).

It is a plant of moist to wet, nutrient-rich soil: it can be found on arable land, on water edges, in swampy grasslands, along fens and in deciduous forests. The plant occurs naturally in India, China and Japan.

To extract menthol crystals, mint oil is centrifuged and when it is cooled at the top, the menthol crystallizes from the oil. Et voilà: menthol crystals have formed from the oil!

Menthol Crystals also have a greasy layer because they are distilled from Peppermint or Mint oil. This makes the menthol crystals soluble in pure alcohol and Eucalyptus oil.
