Description: Menthol crystals are a natural product which originate from mint essential oil extraction. The crystals come from freezing the base concentrate oil. They are clear/white in colour and solid at room temperature but melt readily in water, alcohol, oil and essential oil.
Menthol crystals are cooling, refreshing and have a strong mint perfume. They are used in perfumes, nasal sprays, analgesic balms, lotions, and creams.
Safety data: Very potent and not to be used on sensitive skin. Avoid use during pregnancy.

General safety information: Do not take any oils internally.
Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated essences onto the skin.
Essential oils should be avoided in pregnancy due to their possible skin sensitising effects.
If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Use extreme caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest oils at extremely low doses.

A skin patch test should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.
