Description

Menthyl Lactate is a derivative of menthol and lactic acid, which is used in cosmetics as a cooling, soothing, and refreshing agent. Its main advantage is a long-lasting, gentle cooling effect without the strong smell of menthol and without irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It is often added to moisturizers, aftershave creams, lip balms, antiperspirants, and after-sun products.
