Professional Cooling Agent WS-12 for Advanced Formulation

Cooling Agent WS-12 is a highly potent cooling powder engineered to activate TRPM8 receptors, delivering a sharp, smooth, and exceptionally long-lasting cooling sensation. It is widely recognized as the industry standard for premium chewing gum, sugar-free mints, and high-end cosmetic lipid applications.

Compared with Cooling Agent WS-23, WS-12 provides a much more persistent cooling profile, albeit with lower water solubility. If you are choosing between different cooling intensities, check our expert guide on WS-23 vs WS-12 vs WS-3.

WS-12 is often evaluated for longer cooling duration; you can also read our guide on long-lasting cooling sensation in flavor and oral care products for application-based cooling ingredient selection.

Formulation Tip: The Solubility Challenge
Due to its lipophilic nature, WS-12 is perfect for dry blending in pressed candy. However, for liquid PG bases, it requires synergistic blending to prevent recrystallization. Read our WS-12 Solubility & Blending Guide for precise formulation ratios.

Primary Applications

Chewing Gum & Pressed Mints: (The optimal application for sustained freshness).
Lip Balm & Cosmetics: Integrates seamlessly into lipid carriers and MCT oil.
Oral Care: Long-lasting mouthwashes (best dissolved in ethanol).
Synergistic Cooling Blends: Mixed with WS-23 to extend the cooling tail.
