Menthol Bold & Medium Crystals
Menthol Bold & Medium Crystals
Premium natural L-Menthol crystals derived from Mentha arvensis oil, available in two distinct crystal size variants. Bold crystals are large, oblong crystals ideal for slow dissolution and controlled release applications, while Medium crystals offer a balanced particle size suited for direct blending and rapid incorporation into formulations.
Both variants deliver the characteristic intense cooling sensation and refreshing minty aroma that make menthol indispensable across pharmaceutical, oral care, cosmetic, and flavor industries. Manufactured in accordance with BP, USP, EP, JP, and FCC standards.
