Umuthi Menthol Crystals

Umuthi Menthol Crystals are 100% natural crystals that originate from essential oil extraction. They dissolve easily into essential oils and alcohol, making them useful in DIY cosmetics, balms, foot sprays, cooling gels, shaving products, compresses, toothpastes, and mouthwashes. Menthol crystals create a fresh, cooling sensation on the skin and bring a strong minty effect to carefully formulated products.

Because they are concentrated, only a very small amount is needed in most formulations. Why we love it: Menthol crystals are powerful, practical, and incredibly useful when a formulation needs a clean cooling effect. They are ideal for makers who want a natural, concentrated ingredient for balms, foot products, gels, and fresh oral-care style formulations.
