Menthol is an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. Menthol has local anesthetic and counter-irritant qualities and is often used to create a "cooling" sensation in skincare products.

You Will Need:


Combine all ingredients in a sterile, glass mixing bowl and mix well to incorporate mint oils into the base. Package in an airtight container until use.

FYI: A barrier cream is a topical formulation used to create a physical barrier between the skin and contaminants which may irritate the skin and cause dermatitis.
