What are the functions?
Menthyl lactate produces a cooling sensation by activating cold receptors on the skin and mucous membranes, while also providing soothing and skincare benefits.
1. Cooling and Skin Feel Adjustment
Different concentrations achieve different cooling experiences:
Low concentration (0.05%–0.2%): Mild cooling, suitable for sensitive skin skincare and lip products.
Medium concentration (0.2%–1.0%): Noticeable and long-lasting cooling, suitable for sunscreens, shower gels, and shaving creams.
High concentration (1.0%–2.0%): Strong cooling, suitable for sports treatments and after-sun care.
2. Gentle Soothing and Anti-Irritant
Menthyl lactate has extremely low irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Soothing effects include: relieving post-sun redness and seasonal dryness and itching, reducing stinging sensation after shaving or hair removal, and safe for use on sensitive areas such as the eye area and lips.
3. Supportive Skincare Benefits
Oil Control: Inhibits sebum secretion; when used with niacinamide, the oil-control effect can be prolonged.
Cuticle softening: Gently dissolves dead skin cells, improving rough skin texture.
Oral care: Inhibits oral bacteria, freshens breath.
Comparison with Traditional Cooling Agents
Compared to menthol and WS-3 commonly used in cosmetics, menthyl lactate has unique advantages:
Comparison Table：
| Characteristic | Menthyl Lactate | Menthol | WS-3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling Intensity | Mild (approx. 0.6–0.8 times that of menthol) | Strong | Strong (approx. 1.5 times that of menthol) |
| Onset Time | Slightly slow (30–60 seconds) | Fast (10–20 seconds) | Moderate (20–40 seconds) |
| Duration | 15–30 minutes on skin; up to 8 hours in oral cavity | 5–8 minutes | 10–30 minutes |
| Skin Irritation | Very low, no burning sensation | High, obvious irritation at 40% concentration | Low |
| Odor Interference | Very low, does not mask fragrances | Strong, easily masks original fragrance | Slight |
In summary: Menthyl lactate provides a mild and long-lasting cooling sensation, is non-irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, and is suitable for sensitive skin and high-end skincare products; menthol is inexpensive but irritating and has a short-lasting effect; WS-3 has the highest cooling intensity but is more expensive.
Application Cases
Sunscreen Products: Menthol lactate effectively improves the stickiness of traditional sunscreens. One sunscreen spray adds 0.2%–0.3% menthol lactate to achieve a cooling sensation lasting 15 minutes without sticky residue.
Skincare Products: Adding 0.5% menthol lactate to after-sun repair masks, combined with witch hazel extract, can relieve redness and lower skin temperature by 3–5°C within 15 minutes. Adding 0.8% menthol lactate to oil-control creams, combined with plant extracts, can achieve a dry T-zone effect for up to 12 hours. Adding a low concentration (0.1%) to sensitive skin care products, combined with centella asiatica extract, has achieved a user satisfaction rate of over 98% for sensitive skin.
Makeup Products: Adding appropriate amounts (0.08%–0.2%) to lip glosses and lip balms provides a cooling sensation without affecting makeup application, without drying or stickiness.
Shampoo and Conditioner Products: Shampoos containing 0.3% menthyl lactate, combined with oil-controlling ingredients, provide a cooling sensation on the scalp that lasts 4–6 hours after washing. Antiperspirants containing 0.5% provide a cooling sensation that lasts 6–8 hours.
