Menthyl lactate Description
Menthyl lactate (ML) is a kind of peppermint derivative, which is a long-acting cooling agent, colorless liquid or white crystal, insoluble in water, soluble in ether, ethanol and oil. It has a weak smell of cold, cypress or tobacco, with a very light minty coolness, sometimes a little reminiscent of tobacco and chamomile.
Menthyl lactate application
In the past, formulators can only use mint to design cool products, and there is no other choice. However, the volatility and irritability of peppermint are very large, resulting in a strong and short cooling effect, which covers the scent of the essence because of its special peppermint flavor. Menthol lactate is the best substitute for menthol, which has the characteristics of long-term, tasteless and non-irritating. It is widely used in cosmetics, skin care products, washing products, tobacco, food, beverage, candy, menthol water and other products. It overcomes the limitation that cooling products can only be mint flavor.
