description Product Description

L-Menthol is widely used in the pharmaceutical and personal care industries due to its cooling and soothing properties. In over-the-counter medications, it is commonly found in topical analgesics, cough drops, and nasal inhalers to provide relief from pain, irritation, and congestion. Its ability to activate cold-sensitive receptors in the skin makes it a key ingredient in muscle rubs and ointments for treating sore muscles and joint pain. In oral care products, L-Menthol is added to toothpaste, mouthwashes, and breath fresheners for its refreshing flavor and antimicrobial effects. It is also a popular component in cosmetics and skincare products, such as lotions, creams, and lip balms, where it imparts a cooling sensation and enhances the sensory experience. Additionally, L-Menthol is used in the food and beverage industry as a flavoring agent, particularly in candies, chewing gum, and menthol-flavored products. Its versatility and pleasant aroma make it a valuable ingredient across various applications.
