Menthol Crystals contain no less than 99.4% Menthol and are all but insoluble in water or glycerin, while completely soluble in alcohol and essential oils. They are widely used because of their unique characteristics: intense mint aroma, cooling, tingling sensation, and refreshing feel after use.

Storage & Shelf Life
How to keep these crystals stable batch to batch
Original container, cool well-ventilated place
1 Year
Keep the Container Closed
Your product page lists an evaporation point around 21°C (70°F) — close to room temperature (the SDS itself doesn't report this figure). Keep the container closed whenever it's not in use to avoid losing potency and scent over time.
Store in a Cool, Well-Ventilated Place
Keep in the original container, away from heat sources that could bring it near its 42°C (107°F) melting point.
Handle With Gloves and Eye Protection
Wear gloves and eye protection when measuring or transferring in concentrate, and wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Test Before Scaling
Usage rates require testing on your specific base — high percentages can cause mild irritation. Start low (0.5%) and work up to your desired cooling effect, up to a 6.0% load.
