Description
Menthol is a waxy, crystalline, organic compound. It is either transparent or white, and solid at room temperature. It melts easily under indirect heat. It has a sharp, minty scent— it chemically triggers cold-sensitive receptors in the skin, provoking a cooling sensation and making them ideal for a wide array of therapeutic applications. May be incorporated into balms, perfumes, oral care, or topical anesthetics, and may aid in the short-term relief of sinus congestion and irritation.
