FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between natural L-menthol and synthetic menthol?
Our CAS 89-78-1 menthol is 100% natural plant-extracted L-menthol with pure mint flavor, mild cooling and ultra-low impurities. It meets high-end food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical standards. Synthetic menthol is chemically synthesized with a single taste, slight chemical odor and higher impurities, only suitable for low-grade industrial products. Natural L-menthol is safer and more stable for premium finished goods.
Q2: What shipping and document support do you provide?
We offer standard export double-layer moisture-proof packaging to prevent caking and volatilization during long transit. Flexible MOQ supports trial orders and bulk purchases. We accept FOB, CIF, CFR and DDP terms, and provide complete COA, MSDS, health certificate and origin certificate to guarantee smooth customs clearance.
Q3: How to store menthol crystals and what is the shelf life?
Menthol is volatile and hygroscopic. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated place below 25℃ and 65% humidity. Keep tightly sealed and away from sunlight, high temperature and oxidants. The sealed shelf life is 24 months with stable quality.
