L-Menthol Crystals
L-Menthol is the crystalline alcohol isolated from mint oil and the compound responsible for the cooling sensation in oral care, confectionery and topical products. Gem Aromatics recovers it by crystallisation from dementholised mint oil at its own facilities, which means the crystal, rice, flake and molten forms all originate from a single controlled supply chain rather than being traded on.
