Menthyl Lactate

Menthyl lactate is a compound of natural origin, obtained by reaction between natural menthol and lactic acid. It comes as a white powder. It is widely used in the food and cosmetic fields in order to give a sensation of freshness following the application and to give the product the typical mint smell. It differs from the classic Menthol for its less refreshing but more lasting action. It is also less aggressive and therefore more suitable in cases of sensitive skin or with capillary problems.
