What are Menthol Crystals?

Menthol Crystals are solid, colorless flakes that form when peppermint oil is frozen and purified. These crystals dissolve easily in oils, alcohol, or warm water. They are extracted naturally and processed for high purity.

These Menthol Crystals are sold for research purposes only. They are available at RCDbio in a 4 oz (114g) resealable stand-up pouch.

What are the Potential Benefits of Menthol Crystals?

In controlled lab settings, Menthol Crystals are used to study:

• As cooling agents on the epidermis or in topical delivery systems
• Decongestant effects in vapor-based applications
• Scent behavior and aroma diffusion in essential oil research
• Anti-itch mechanisms on the epidermis
• Formulation testing for cosmetics

How Does It Work?

Menthol Crystals interact with a specific receptor in the body called TRPM8. It stands for Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8, which responds to cold temperatures. When applied, menthol signals the body in a way that produces a cooling feeling. This is why it’s often used to test how sensory nerves react to cold. 

In some experiments, it has been observed to reduce irritation. Its minty scent helps researchers study fragrance behavior and diffusion in blends.

How to Safely Store Menthol Crystals?

• Keep them in a sealed, airtight container.
• Store at room temperature (20–25°C).
