It is better not to dissolve so many menthol crystals in the following oils

Menthol crystals will still partly dissolve in Mint oil or Peppermint oil, but since this essential oil already contains a lot of menthol, it may be that not all menthol crystals dissolve well.

Use 3: In the sauna

First pour with ice or water and then put a few menthol crystals on the stove in a scoop of ice. Let the menthol crystals melt on the stove. In the sauna, be careful not to use too much as it can be too strong for the eyes if the air is displaced in the sauna cabin by means of a towel.

Use 4: Dissolve in Alcohol or hot water

Menthol crystals can also be dissolved in alcohol or hot water before use. A solution of 2 to 10% is most convenient. Please note the risk of fire, so always add water or ice before pouring. Our mixing guideline is to apply 25 ml (alcohol incl. menthol crystals) to 5 liters of water. You can adjust this amount as needed.

Use 5: In the steam room

Place a glass or stainless steel bowl under the steam pipe of the steam cabin. Every time the steam passes over the menthol crystals, the wonderful, refreshing menthol scent will emerge. If it is too strong, turn down the steam or add fewer menthol crystals to the bowl. If it is not strong enough, increase the steam or add more menthol crystals to the bowl.

Use 6: In a hand soap, shower gel or shampoo

To obtain a cooling effect when a shampoo is applied to the head, we have developed Mint Fresh shampoo that contains Menthol crystals. We also have Mint Fresh hand soap and shower gel.

Menthol crystals are edible

Besides the fact that menthol crystals are used for the scent, they are also edible. Since they are very concentrated, it is already effective if a few crystals are used in food. If you have no experience with this, use as little as possible in the beginning so that it is not overpowering. In food such as custard, the crystals dissolve slowly. They are wonderfully refreshing and have a strong mint flavor. Only use 1 to 2 crystals on a full bowl of custard. The crystals are mainly used in desserts, chewing gum, candies and other refreshing foods. 1 crystal can sometimes be enough to impart a good taste to a dish.
