ACTIVE DESCRIPTION
Menthol
Menthol, a component derived from mint oil, is a non-opioid cyclic terpene alcohol that has been used for its analgesic medicinal properties since ancient times. It is normally found in high concentrations in Peppermint (Mentha piperita) and Japanese Mint (Mentha arvensis) essential oils.
Despite being associated with flavors, the refreshing power triggered by menthol comes from chemical sensations or sensory somatomas.
Therefore, it is an active ingredient with a high level of permeation into the skin and acts as a counter-irritant, generating an influx of Ca+ and Na+ and providing a refreshing effect by initially stimulating the receptors and then discouraging them. When activated, the channel promotes a flow of cations that depolarizes the cell, creating the neurological signal.
Menthyl Lactate
Menthyl lactate is an ester derived from menthol and lactic acid commonly used as a cooling agent in oral health products and flavoring of foods and beverages. In cosmetics, it can be valued for its ability to provide a refreshing and calming sensation to the skin, being used in aftershave lotions, body creams and after-sun care products.
These complementary characteristics make the blend of menthol with menthyl lactate interesting for a prolonged refreshing effect, the initial freshness being caused by the menthol and the durability being thanks to the menthyl lactate. Therefore, NV Fresh is an excellent option for formulators looking to develop an innovative product, with a refreshing sensation and that is unique on the market.
