Adding Cooling Agent to Shampoo Formula

To add a cooling sensation to your shampoo formula, you can use water-soluble cooling agents which are suitable for surfactant-based systems like shampoo. Based on the ingredients available, here are some options:

• Menthol Water Soluble (20% Menthol, Liquid): Provides a cool sensation and menthol scent. Recommended usage rate is 0.1-5%.
• Long-Cool™ (Encapsulated Menthol): Offers a prolonged cooling sensation without being overly intense. Recommended usage rate is 1.0-5.0% (suggested 3% or more).
• Water-Cool™ (Water-Soluble Cooling Agent): Provides a cool feeling and can be used in clear, water-based formulas. Recommended usage rate is 1-20%.
• Menthyl PCA: A liquid cooling active that releases menthol over several hours for a long-lasting cooling effect. Recommended usage rate is 1-20%.

Choose the cooling agent based on the desired intensity and duration of the cooling effect.
