Menthol Crystals (L-Menthol) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- L-Menthol
- Peppermint Camphor
- Hexahydrothymol
- Menthol Kristal
Menthol crystals supplier for food, pharmaceutical, personal-care and manufacturing buyers in Malaysia. Also called L-menthol, peppermint camphor, hexahydrothymol and menthol kristal, this crystalline material delivers a strong peppermint aroma and a cooling sensation at low use levels.
Commercial options include food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade and cosmetic-grade crystals. Buyers usually pre-dissolve the solid in alcohol or an essential-oil carrier because menthol is only sparingly soluble in water. Grade, assay and documentation needs should be stated with the enquiry.
Confectionery and beverage makers use food-grade crystals for mint flavour and cooling. Pharmaceutical formulators use suitable grades in lozenges, cough syrups and topical analgesics. Personal-care producers add menthol to lip balms, creams, lotions and oral-care products.

Common questions about menthol crystal
Are menthol crystals the same as L-menthol or hexahydrothymol?
Yes. Menthol crystal on this page is crystalline L-menthol, also known as peppermint camphor and hexahydrothymol. State the grade and any assay or pharmacopoeial limit you need so the quotation can match the requirement.
Which menthol crystal grade should I request?
Food-grade material is used for confectionery, gum and beverage flavouring. Pharmaceutical grades are selected for lozenges, syrups and topical products against a stated specification. Cosmetic grades serve cooling personal-care formulations. Include the application and any required certificate so the correct commercial grade can be quoted.
