Difference between Lip Cool, Cool Touch, and Chili Hot

Here's a breakdown of the three ingredients:

• Lip Cool™ (WS-3 Cooling Agent): This ingredient is specifically designed to provide a clean, cool sensation without taste, making it ideal for lip products. It offers a stronger cooling effect than traditional menthol and the sensation lasts for about 20 minutes. It is mixed into the oil phase of a formulation.
• CoolTouch™ (Menthyl Lactate): This provides a cooling sensation on the skin and is generally gentler than menthol. While it can be used in various products that require a cooling feel on the skin, it is not specifically formulated for lip products like Lip Cool.
• Chili Hot™ (feels hot on the skin, Oil Soluble): This ingredient provides a warming sensation, not a cooling one. It is used to stimulate blood circulation and is typically found in products like anti-cellulite creams. It is not suitable for creating a cooling effect in lip products.

Which to use for a cooling lip product?

For adding a cooling sensation to a lip product, Lip Cool™ (WS-3 Cooling Agent) is the most suitable choice as it is specifically designed for this application.

Recommended Usage Rate

The recommended usage rate for Lip Cool™ in lip formulations is 0.05-0.5%.
