What are the effects of “menthol” in cool shampoos and body soaps?
Menthol is what gives cool shampoos and body soaps their refreshing, refreshing sensation. Menthol is the main component of the essential oil contained in the leaves of the peppermint plant, and when it comes into contact with the skin, it produces a cool, refreshing sensation. However, the temperature is not actually lowered, but rather, the brain is tricked into believing that the cold sensation is caused by stimulation of the cells that perceive it. Menthol is said to be effective in calming and tightening the skinandactivating cells. It is also said to promote hair growth by stimulating blood flow. Since it is not only pleasant to feel cool and refreshing, but also has a pleasing effect on the skin and hair, why not try using cool shampoos and body soaps this summer?
If you’re new to menthol-containing products, choose a weaker version!
As mentioned above, menthol has many positive benefits, but choosing a product with a high menthol content does not necessarily double the benefits. Especially if you are using menthol-based products for the first time, be aware that too much stimulation may cause pain or burning sensation on the skin. In addition, it is often difficult to determine the strength of menthol by looking at the ingredients list, so it is recommended to guess from the characteristics listed on the package or, if possible, try a sample or trial size.
Mixing peppermint oil with your shampoo or body wash is an option.
If you want to personalize the strength of the cool sensation, we recommend that you add your own peppermint oil to your favorite shampoo or body soap. The process is quite simple: pour an appropriate amount of shampoo or body soap from the bottle into your hand, and add 1 to 2 drops of peppermint oil to it. Incidentally, you can also add it to the bottle itself, but be aware that it may be difficult to mix evenly because it may separate, and depending on the material of the plastic bottle, the bottle may melt due to the chemical reaction with the peppermint oil.
