Menthol – cools and relaxes

Menthol is one of the main components of the antibacterial peppermint oil, which is extracted from field or peppermint. Menthol gives your skin a pleasant freshness – naturally. The ingredient binds to the thermoreceptors in your skin. The result: your body feels a pleasant coolness, while your body temperature itself does not change. This reaction often also causes a slight tingling sensation on the skin, which is both relaxing and soothing.
