Can the Menthol Water Soluble product sold by myskinrecipes be used in facial toner for skin care and as a facial spray for cooling? Are there any dangers to the eyes or if ingested?
Answer
Using Menthol Water Soluble in Facial Products
Yes, Menthol Water Soluble (20% Menthol, Liquid) can be used in facial toners or sprays to provide a cooling sensation on the skin. The product description indicates it is suitable for any product requiring a cooling effect on the skin and is water-soluble, making it easy to incorporate into water-based formulas like toners or sprays.
The recommended usage rate is 0.1-5%.
Regarding safety for eyes and ingestion:
- Eyes: Menthol can cause irritation to the eyes. While this product is for skin application, it is crucial to avoid direct contact with the eyes when using a facial spray or toner containing it. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Ingestion: This product is intended for cosmetic use and is not safe for ingestion. Care should be taken to avoid getting the spray or toner into the mouth.
Always follow recommended usage rates and avoid contact with sensitive areas like eyes and mouth.
