Menthyl lactate, a synthetic derivative of menthol and lactic acid, is commonly used in skincare and hair care products for its cooling and soothing properties. It provides a refreshing sensation and a minty scent when applied to the skin. However, it can cause skin sensitization and damage due to its volatile nature. It is best used in the morning for a refreshing pick-me-up and can be found in after-sun products to help cool a sunburn. It is also used in lip care, particularly for lip-plumping products.
