The present invention provides a composition characterized in that it comprises
menthol and menthyl lactate in a ratio by weight in the range of 1:44:1
and the corresponding crystallization point is below room temperature of 25
C. Such composition has the advantages of being liquid at room temperature; easy
to use as a cooling agent or a flavoring agent; no need to use heat to melt menthol
and menthyl lactate, which not only saves time, money and heating equipment, but
also simplifies manufacturing process and can be used in cold processes at room
temperature. The composition can be used as a cooling and/or flavoring agent and/or
a fragrance ingredient in toothpaste, mouthwash, fragrance, cleansers, shaving
