Cooling and tingling effect in sexual wellness cosmetics
Hey guys! 👋
I’m currently working on the development of formulas aimed at the sexual wellness market. We’re doing well and making progress, but I’m dealing with some difficulties…
Our benchmarks that show a tingling and/or refreshing sensation have Menthol in their composition, but when I try to formulate these products and apply to an area of skin (back of hand or palm), I don’t feel the effect. I tried with Menthyl Lactate as well, but I didn’t have positive results. Maybe concentration is the problem?
I thought it might also be the region where I’m applying it to test it, but I don’t have the balls to test you-know-where… 😳
Remembering that I am formulating from Brazil, so the regulation here may be different from yours, but the question is about the minimum % to feel the effect (in the case of the gel, I can smell the freshness, but not feel it on the skin)
Here’s the benchmarks and the formulations we made
PLEASURE GEL
(https://mylola.com/products/pleasure-gel)
Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethiconol -> qsp (100%)
Cyclopentasiloxane -> 15%
Menthol -> 0.6%
PLEASURE BALM
Dicaprylyl Ether -> qsp (100%)
Cocoa Butter -> 3%
Shea Butter -> 1.5%
Sweet Almond Oil -> 5%
Beeswax -> 25%
Menthol -> 0.1%
Vitamin E -> 1%
Mint Fragrance -> 1%
Thank you all for your attention 🙂
