Menthoxypropanediol

Synonyms: 3-[(1R,2S,5R)-5-Methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)cyclohexyl]oxypropane-1,2-diol; Menthoxypropanediol; MPD; Cooling Agent MPD

Menthoxypropanediol is a synthetic cooling agent derived from menthol, belonging to the class of menthol glycerol ethers. It is produced through a reaction between L-menthol and glycidol, yielding a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic mild minty odor. The compound is widely used in personal care, food, and pharmaceutical applications where a long-lasting, smooth cooling effect is desired without the sharp, burning sensation associated with menthol.

As a high-purity ingredient (≥98% GC), Menthoxypropanediol is particularly valued for its ability to provide a sustained cooling sensation that develops slowly and lingers, making it ideal for products requiring extended sensory performance. Its excellent solubility profile in both oil- and water-based systems allows formulators to incorporate it into a wide range of formulations, from leave-on skin care to oral care and confectionery.
