About Menthol

Menthol is a fragrance ingredient used to add or adjust a product's scent or taste.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to alter the taste or odor of an ingredient so it is less likely to be ingested, prevent the ingredient's characteristic odor or taste from becoming too pronounced, and provide a fresh, refreshing sensation to the application area.[1] It is also used to care for the skin comfortably.[1] When added to cosmetics, this ingredient is used to adjust the raw material odor or add fragrance to the product; its primary purpose is fragrance.[2]
