What Is Menthyl Lactate?
Menthyl Lactate is a mild cooling agent derived from menthol and lactic acid. It provides a refreshing, cooling sensation without the potential irritation or intensity of pure menthol, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
This ingredient offers a controlled, long-lasting cooling effect that enhances product sensory appeal while being gentle enough for use around delicate areas.
