MultiSal® Menthol
MultiSal™ Menthol is a unique delivery system that greatly enhances the stability of volatile materials like menthol. The durable double-encapsulation serves as a protective shell for the menthol by first encasing it in sub-micron spheres and then locking those spheres into a dense outer shell. MultiSal™ Menthol offers a high retention of Menthol, moisture-triggered release, a long-lasting cooling sensation, and easy formulation in anhydrous products. This product is recommended for anhydrous lotions and creams, body powders, anhydrous foot care, lip care, makeup and color cosmetics, and bar soaps.

- Background
Menthol has analgesic properties that are mediated through a selective activation of k-opioid receptors. It also provides a cooling sensation by chemically triggering the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin. As a result of these properties, menthol is commonly used in various pain relief, skin care, lip care, and oral applications.. The challenge of formulating with menthol is that, though they are solid crystals at room temperature, they evaporate just above that temperature point, leading to significant loss of cooling sensation in final products. Additionally, menthol has a natural, medicinal odor that may be undesirable for certain applications.
- HIGHLIGHTS
Invigorating blast to the senses with activation MS ME burst releases menthol when exposed to moisture. However, the continuous release is modulated by the level of water at the proximate environment.; Cost effective and safe production by reduced vapors MS ME reduces the initial menthol odor and allows production at higher temperatures that reduce menthol loss.; Longer Shelf Life: Encapsulation reduces evaporation of menthol, leaving more menthol for the user
