Menthol Crystals (CAS 2216-51-5) is a monoterpene alcohol obtained from natural sources or produced synthetically. It is supplied as colorless, transparent crystals with a characteristic peppermint odor and a cooling taste. The material is available in various grades, including USP/EP compliant, and is typically standardized to a minimum purity of 99% by HPLC.

Formulators incorporate menthol crystals into topical analgesics, oral care products, confectionery, and pharmaceutical preparations where a cooling sensation or flavor is desired. The crystals are soluble in alcohol and oils, making them suitable for incorporation into emulsions, gels, and syrups.
