Beauty & Care Menthol crystals

Fragrance Menthol Crystals

Ethereal Menthol crystals are refreshing, oily crystals with a fresh, sharp, slightly sweet, minty scent.
Menthol crystals are a lot more refreshing and stronger than Mint oil and Peppermint oil because this is the pure menthol component that is extracted from these oils.
These crystals are extracted by freezing the (Pepper)mint oil.
You can even get cold in the sauna if you put a few menthol crystals in ice balls or in water on the sauna heater.

Usage

• In the sauna: add 2 to 4 crystals to an ice ball or to the water in the sauna tub
• In a massage oil: add a maximum of 1 to 2 menthol crystals to 250 ml of Sweet Almond oil for a natural, refreshing massage oil.
• For steaming: add a maximum of 1 to 2 crystals to boiling water and steam with a towel over the head
• In the steam room: add 1 to 2 crystals to a sponge and place them in a stainless steel bowl under the steam pipe

Winning

Menthol is a natural extract of the 'Mentha Arvensis' plant.
This is a perennial plant that belongs to the Lamiaceae family (Labiatae or Lamiaceae).
It is a plant of moist to wet, nutrient-rich soil: it can be found on arable land, on water edges, in swampy grasslands, along fens and in deciduous forests.
The plant occurs naturally in India, China and Japan.

To extract menthol crystals, mint oil is centrifuged and when it is cooled at the top, the menthol crystallizes from the oil.
Et voilà: menthol crystals have formed from the oil!
Menthol Crystals also have a greasy layer because they are distilled from Peppermint or Mint oil.
This makes the menthol crystals soluble in pure alcohol and Eucalyptus oil.
