What’s Up With Menthol: How to Beat the Heat! 

 

 

Mentholated products are a great way to beat the heat!  They provide a cooling effect that can make you feel fresh and cool especially during the hot summer months. Derived mainly from mint leaves, there are synthetic versions available.  

 

There are some side effects, for those with sensitive skin, so always try a little before you go all in (I personally have issues with some items). 

 

Many artisans make products with Menthol:

 

-The Holy Black Creeper Line 

-PAA Frost Byte 

-Stirling Glacial
