Cooling Agents to Replace Alcohol

Yes, there are several cooling agents you can use in formulations as an alternative to alcohol, which can be drying.

As suggested, CoolTouch (Menthyl Lactate) is a good option. It provides a cooling sensation on the skin and is gentler than traditional Menthol. It can be mixed in oil, glycol, or ethyl alcohol.

Other cooling agents available include:

• CoCool (Menthol+Menthyl Lactate): Also provides a cooling sensation on the skin and can be mixed in oil, glycol, or ethyl alcohol.
• Menthyl PCA: Offers a long-lasting cooling effect and also helps moisturize the skin. It can be mixed in oil or glycols (with heat) or water.
• Menthol Water Soluble (20% Menthol, Liquid): Provides a cool sensation and a menthol scent. It is easily dissolved directly in water.
• Long-Cool (Encapsulated Menthol): This is encapsulated menthol designed for prolonged release of cooling on the skin or in the mouth. It is water soluble.

These ingredients can help you achieve a cooling effect in your formulations without relying on alcohol.
