I am making a spa body massage oil and would like an ingredient that provides a cooling and relaxing sensation on the skin when massaged. Could you please recommend some?

Answer

Cooling Agents for Spa Body Massage Oil

For a spa body massage oil that provides a cooling and relaxing sensation on the skin, you can consider the following ingredients:

  • CoolTouch™ (Menthyl Lactate): This ingredient provides a cooling sensation on the skin and is known to be gentler than traditional Menthol. It mixes well with oil. Recommended usage rate is 0.1-1%.
  • CoCool™ (Menthol+Menthyl Lactate): This blend also provides a cooling sensation on the skin and mixes with oil. Recommended usage rate is 0.1-5%.
  • Menthyl PCA: This liquid active provides a long-lasting cooling effect by releasing Menthol over several hours. It can be dissolved in oil and glycols, often requiring heat for dissolution. Recommended usage rate is 1-20%.

When formulating your massage oil, choose the cooling agent that best suits your desired intensity and duration of cooling, as well as compatibility with your oil base. Ensure proper mixing according to the ingredient's solubility.
