L-Menthyl Lactate is the lactic acid ester of L-menthol. It provides a gentle, sustained cooling sensation with less initial sharpness than menthol.
Its mildness and creamy undertone make it ideal for sensitive skin cosmetics, oral care products and food applications where a smooth, long-lasting cool is desired without menthol's harshness. Also acts as a penetration enhancer in topical formulations.
