Description :
L-Menthyl lactate is a naturally-derived ester formed by the combination of L-Menthol and Lactic Acid. It's a colourless or pale yellow liquid that has an icy, minty, and refreshing scent. The name is due to its excellent smell. L-Menthyl Lactate provides a longer-lasting and refreshing cooling sensation that is low in odour.
It's widely utilized in cosmetic, personal care, and flavour applications that provide a smoother and longer-lasting cooling effect as compared to menthol. Biodegradability, low volatility, as well as its compatibility with different formulas, make it a popular ingredient in contemporary cosmetics, health cosmetics, and wellness products.
L-Menthyl Lactate is a component in lotions, creams, conditioners, shampoos, and even aftershaves, to give the most gentle and durable cooling sensation. In contrast to menthol, it provides an extended cooling effect with no strong mint smell, as well as enhancing the comfort of users in the hair and skincare products.
In mouthwashes, toothpastes as well as chewing gums to provide cooling and refreshing breath. It aids in a fresh breath while also maintaining the taste of menthol, which is milder than natural mint.
It is used in balms, gels and ointments; it creates an enveloping, cooling sensation for the skin. It's commonly used in formulas that contain muscle relief, such as anti-itch creams or mild analgesics.
In the realm of wellness and perfumery, L-Menthyl Lactate provides a refreshing note that doesn't overpower the aroma. It's perfect for body sprays, deodorants and other aromatic products.
As a flavouring agent, it is added to confectionery, beverages, chewing gums, and other beverages for a refreshing and mild minty feeling. The firmness of it provides a relaxing sensation without the sharpness that comes from minty.
Incorporated into cooling wipes, gels, and other sprays utilized by athletes to help refresh their bodies in post-exercise or workout recuperation.
