Ingredients and Usage for Cooling Bar Soap

Ingredients for Cooling Bar Soap

To make a bar soap with a cooling property, you can choose from several types of cooling agents. Each type has different characteristics and usage. You should consider its solubility and recommended usage rate.

Cooling agents that can be used in bar soap include:

• CoolTouch™ (Menthyl Lactate): Provides a cooling sensation on the skin, gentler than menthol. Soluble in oil. Usage rate 0.1-1%.
• Menthol Water Soluble (20% Menthol, Liquid): Provides a cool sensation and menthol scent. Directly soluble in water. Usage rate 0.1-5%.
• Long-Cool™ (Encapsulated Menthol): Encapsulated menthol, water soluble, provides longer-lasting cooling. Suitable for products requiring continuous cooling. Usage rate 1.0-5.0% (recommended 3% or more).
• CoCool™ (Menthol+Menthyl Lactate): Provides a cooling sensation on the skin. Soluble in oil. Usage rate 0.1-5%.
• Water-Cool™ (Water-Soluble Cooling Agent): Provides a cool feeling on the skin. Directly soluble in water. Suitable for water-based formulas. Usage rate 1-20%.

In addition to these synthetic ingredients, you can also use natural essential oils with cooling properties, such as Peppermint Essential Oil or Spearmint Essential Oil.

Usage Quantity:
The exact amount of cooling agent to use depends on the desired level of cooling in your soap and the overall soap formula. You should start with a small amount within the recommended range and test to adjust until you achieve the desired result. Testing in small batches before making a full batch is important to ensure the soap has an appropriate and safe level of cooling for the skin.
