Menthol Crystals are naturally occurring compounds derived primarily from peppermint oil (Mentha × piperita L.) through a process of freezing and crystallization. They appear as colorless to white needle-like or crystalline solids with a strong, cooling minty aroma. Main uses include flavoring in toothpaste, mouthwash, and chewing gum; cough and cold formulations (lozenges, balms, inhalers); skin and muscle rubs for a cooling effect; and aromatherapy and personal care products.
