I make my recipe from scratch

Organic menthol crystals can be incorporated as active ingredients in all your oil- or alcohol-based formulas.

Incorporating menthol into an oily formula: balm, oil, stick

There are two possible methods for incorporating menthol into an emulsion, cream, or lotion containing an oil phase:

Add Menthol to the oil phase before emulsification.

Add menthol in an alcohol solution at the end of the formulation process: adding alcohol increases the "cooling" effect of the cream.

• Please note that, depending on individual sensitivity, the "ice cube" effect may be felt as more or less powerful. Always test the effect on a small area before using it more extensively.

• Reserve high doses for localised care (painful areas, itching, feet, legs), do not apply to large areas of the body.

• Do not use on broken skin (burns, wounds, eczema, etc.), mucous membranes, or sensitive areas.
