L-lactate menthol, a menthol derivative made by esterifying menthol and lactic acid, is a white crystalline substance with faint tobacco-chamomile odor and nearly tasteless. It offers long-lasting, gentle cooling on skin and mucous membranes.

Unlike traditional menthol, it avoids irritation and breaks "cool products = mint flavor" limitation. Tasteless, it blends with fruit/floral/herbal flavors, suiting food, cosmetics, oral care. Mild, it fits sensitive skin, children’s snacks and low-irritation oral products.
