Menthol Crystals 4 oz. Mentha Arvensis 100% Pure Natural USP Food Grade - Great for Cosmetics, Salves, Balms, Creams and Soap Making.

I use this product for making shower bombs during the winter. The Menthol crystals are deeply scented, very pure and do a great job on sinuses in the winter!

Great product! Delivery was quick. The crystals were not fused together as other buyers have mentioned. I melted these crystals by adding a tiny amount of 91% isopropyl alcohol to it, inside of a dish that sat in very hot water. It melted down very quickly. And the aroma filled the room! I used it to boost my peppermint fragrance oil that I use in my shower steamers. I will most certainly buy this again…but a larger amount next time!!NOTE: I added the photo with the 4 oz pouch next coffee pod to show the size of the packing.

These are the only menthol crystals I use. I use them to make my muscle aches salve and my vapor rub salve. They dissolve very easily. Smell is overwhelming of course when you open the package, but that’s what it’s supposed to be. works great in my salvee to ease muscle aches and pains.

Love using these for steam.

This is one of those things I am not sure why I bought but was in desperate need of clearing out my sinuses- at for that, it works. Just add a TINY bit to steamy water or even hot water, and breathe in. Just careful as it can irritate eyeballs. I really need to investigate other uses.

Bought this to make my own wintergreen snuff. HOLY COW, I put three crystals in an iron mortar and pestle and mixed it after getting it fine with 1.2 oz tobacco, YOU DO NOT NEED THAT MUCH! This has my mouth numb. I think next time I will try one crystal, this stuff is a good price and 4 oz will probably treat several pounds of tobacco at the least. Good buy, would recommend and cant wait to make my own soap as well!

Ok so I'm an idiot. My bright idea was to throw some into my bath along with my usual Epsom salts. So I did. And that is where the exhilarating nightmare began.I probably tossed about 2 tablespoons worth or maybe a bit less into what I thought would be a leisurely, sinus-opening, muscle relaxing evening of bliss. I then left the bathroom as my tub was filling and as I walked back approaching the bathroom I was thinking I was entering a steam room at a spa or health club and I was excited to plop myself in! In the first 10 seconds or so I was inhaling deeply thinking this was going to be great and thinking Amazon was God's gift having all these odd goodies one cannot find at a local store. And then it hit me...Like in that nanosecond before you fall, or are in a car crash, or whatever (but we all know that split second feeling of dread) - I won't relay here the choice of words that bubbled to my lips but I was no longer happy, I just knew if I stayed submerged even that second longer I'd be in deep trouble. Turns out, I already was. I jumped up, pulled the plug, through on the shower, grabbed a brillo pad type loofa and a bar of good old Irish Spring and started scrubbing for dear life to get the menthol the BLEEP off of me all the while spewing forth menthol, icy-hot derived expletives.Mind you, It was August and after I made my rapid exodus from the bath, I ran to my armoire freezing and teeth chattering as much as Rose Dawson laying on a door floating in the middle of the North Atlantic, if not more, while frantically digging through every sweater, sweatshirt, and frickin' fur hat and scarf I own and dressing faster than I believe I ever had. I also managed to find and fire up two heating pads and a neck wrap and seriously...for a good 1/2 hour I was wearing all of it.Sorry to be so intense here but that is exactly what it was, and therefore it is my sincere hope that no one will succumb to their own idiocy as I did.NEXT TIME (If I get up the courage to try again) I will use NO MORE than a pinch of these little nuclear bombs in a hot bath again. No more than a pinch to start, people!!! I surprisingly saw no reviews, however for using them in a bath so at least I can honestly say I didn't know! Please enjoy as they are powerful and I'm sure I'll love mixing again in moderation...just learn my lesson and you'll be fine :-)

Use this everyday it adds flavor to so many beverages and food. Caution! Start using this product in very small pinches.The menthol is natural and highly concentrated. So it's easy for it to challenge your tongue's tolerance. Price is reasonable. Use last a very long time.
