Menthol
INCI Name: Menthol
Menthol is known in skincare and medicinal products for its cooling and soothing effects. When applied to the skin, it stimulates cold-sensitive receptors, creating a refreshing, cooling sensation. This effect helps relieve skin irritation, itching, and mild pain. Menthol is commonly used in pain relief creams, sports creams, and anti-inflammatory products, as it temporarily diverts attention from pain, thus alleviating the sensation.
Additionally, menthol has mild antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial for certain skin concerns. However, it may cause irritation in sensitive skin, so it should be used cautiously.
