Menthol – a fresh tingle on your skin
Everyone knows the wonderfully refreshing, herbal aroma of mint. But menthol isn’t just for giving cold drinks in summer a fresh and tingly herbal boost. It’s also used in many body care and oral hygiene products to provide a pleasantly cooling effect. And we are also utilising menthol’s refreshing effect and using this versatile ingredient in selected lavera products.
Menthol – cools and soothes
Menthol is one of the main components of peppermint oil, which has antibacterial properties and is extracted from corn mint or peppermint. Menthol gives your skin a pleasant freshness – in a natural way. It is easily integrated into your skin’s thermoreceptors, resulting in your body experiencing a pleasantly cooling feeling, although your actual body temperature does not change. This reaction often causes a slight tingling sensation on your skin, which is both relaxing and soothing.
