mentol (Menthol)

Description

Menthol is an organic compound with a distinctive minty smell. It can be obtained from natural sources such as peppermint and eucalyptus. It has a range of invigorating and calming properties that make it a versatile ingredient in health and beauty products. The ability of menthol to create a cooling sensation on the skin makes it an extremely useful component in after-sun lotions and creams designed to be applied to the skin after exposure to the sun. Menthol relieves the heat and pain that can result from excessive sun exposure. Menthol does not lower body or skin temperature. Menthol is an active ingredient that is often included in hair care products and other cosmetic preparations due to its cooling and stimulating effect on the scalp. Menthol shampoos, creams, and hair care products, like most medicinal hair care products, are formulated to soothe and treat scalp conditions.
