Cooling Agent Alternatives for Alcohol Spray

Yes, CoolTouch™ (Menthyl Lactate) and WS-23 Cooling Agent (Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide) are indeed suitable alternatives to Freeze Me™ (Menthone Glycerin Acetal) for creating a cooling sensation in your spray formulation. Both CoolTouch™ and WS-23 can be dissolved in Ethyl Alcohol, which is the base you are using.

Different cooling agents have varying potencies and recommended usage rates. The fact that 3% Freeze Me™ in Ethyl Alcohol did not provide sufficient cooling suggests that you may need to use a higher concentration of Freeze Me™ or consider agents known for stronger cooling effects at lower percentages.

Based on the product information:

• CoolTouch™ (Menthyl Lactate) is typically used at a rate of 0.1-1%. It provides a cooling sensation that is generally considered gentler than Menthol.
• WS-23 Cooling Agent (Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide) is typically used at a rate of 0.1-0.5%. WS-23 is known for providing a strong, long-lasting cooling effect without the minty odor or potential irritation associated with Menthol.

You could try using CoolTouch™ or WS-23 within their recommended ranges in your Ethyl Alcohol base. You might find that a lower percentage of WS-23, for example, provides a more noticeable cooling effect than 3% Freeze Me™.

Other cooling agents you might consider exploring include CoCool™ (a blend of Menthol and Menthyl Lactate), Water-Cool™ (a water-soluble option, though your base is alcohol), WS-3 Cooling Agent, Long-Cool™ (Encapsulated Menthol), Cooling Green Beads (Menthol Encapsulation), or Menthol Water Soluble. Each has unique properties regarding cooling intensity, duration, and solubility.

Experimenting with different cooling agents and concentrations is key to achieving your desired cooling sensation.
