A Gentle Cooling Ester Formed by Combining Menthol & Lactic Acid
Chemkg Menthyl Lactate is produced through the esterification of:
• Menthol (natural or synthetic)
• Lactic acid (often bio-fermented)
This process creates a cooling ester that:
• Is less intense than menthol
• Has a prolonged cooling effect
• Is smoother and more skin-friendly
