Menthol Crystals Organic Reviews

These carefully crafted crystals are a 100% natural product that originate from cornmint (Mentha arvensis) essential oil extraction. Menthol is the solid constituent of oil of mint, to which the characteristic odor is due. Menthol is obtained by subjecting the distilled oil to a temperature of -22ºC; the menthol crystallizes out in satiny crystals. They dissolve readily into alcohol or essential oils, and they can be dissolved into water or oil at their melting point of 111.2ºF. By adding menthol crystals to any number of DIY cosmetic recipes, a cooling, refreshing, and pleasantly strong minty aroma is brought to the finished product. With these highly concentrated crystals, it is good to remember that a little goes a long way. Extraction Method: Crystallized quick frozen Intended Use: Food and cosmetic use Crystal Size: 1/4-3/8 inch shards Melting Point: Approximately 111 degrees Fahrenheit Precautions: Menthol crystals should never be used as a single ingredient product or applied directly to the skin without proper dilution. May cause irritation to skin or mucous membranes. Proper dilution within a finished product of no more than 2% as a food additive or 5% for topical application.
