Menthyl PCA : Characteristics and Applications

Secondly, it has a mild nature and no odor, and has no irritation to the skin. Thirdly, it can produce a natural moisturizing effect. Fourthly, it has a good compatibility and synergistic effect with flavors, which is convenient for formulating into a variety of products.

    In terms of uses, Menthyl PCA  is very widely used. It is commonly seen in many fields such as daily soothing products, shampoos, bath liquids, perfumes, and skin moisturizers. It also plays an important role in the flavor and fragrance industry. It is often used as a flavor additive in oral care products, candies, chewing gums, oral refreshing sprays and other products to give them a cool mint flavor.
