❄️ What are menthol crystals?
Menthol crystals are an organic compound from the group of terpenoid alcohols, recognized for their unique aroma and crystalline appearance. While most people associate menthol with aromatherapy, its use in the sauna offers a fascinating experience to explore.
🔥 Popular uses of menthol crystals
One of the most common applications of menthol crystals in the sauna is adding them to water and pouring it over hot stones. The steam releases menthol into the air, filling the sauna with a refreshing mint aroma.
🌿 Functions in the sauna
Menthol crystals are a perfect addition to sauna sessions, enhancing relaxation and refreshment. Their cooling and invigorating fragrance makes sauna rituals more pleasant and energizing.
🌱 Origin of menthol crystals
Also known as crystallized mint, menthol is a naturally occurring compound found in essential oils of peppermint (Mentha piperita) and other mint species. It is extracted from these plants and purified through crystallization.
⚗️ The crystallization process
The process begins with peppermint oil, which contains 30–50% menthol. Through fractional distillation, menthol is separated from other components of the oil. Once purified, it is cooled, resulting in the formation of pure menthol crystals.
💎 Applications of menthol
Menthol is widely used as an ingredient in:
Cosmetics – creams, balms, shampoos, and gels, protecting skin from dryness, cracking, and frostbite
Sauna sessions – providing a cooling and refreshing sensation without changing body temperature
Aromatization – tissues, detergents, dishwashing liquids, car fragrances, and air fresheners
Aromatherapy – valued for its invigorating and refreshing effect
