Mint profiles span spearmint (sweet, fruity, soft), peppermint (clean, sharp, high menthol), wintergreen (sweet, herbal, candy-like), and mouthwash blends (high-impact, balanced cooling). Cooling agents like WS-3 and WS-23 are often used alongside or in place of menthol for products where menthol's medicinal character is unwanted.
Formulator note: The right cooling profile depends entirely on the application and target sensation. Mouthwash, toothpaste, mint candy, and functional beverages each need a different balance.
Clean, balanced spearmint-peppermint blend with moderate cooling. Versatile in confectionery, oral care, and functional beverages — a good starting point before selecting a more specific mint direction.
High-impact mint blend with balanced cooling, clean freshness, and a lasting aftertaste. Built for mouthwash applications — evaluates differently from food-format mint, so test in the finished system.
Balanced cooling mint formulated for toothpaste and rinse applications. Accounts for SLS interaction and the full brushing experience rather than initial taste alone.
Sharp, high-menthol peppermint with strong, clean cooling. Oral care and confectionery standard — adjust use level carefully. It goes from refreshing to medicinal in a narrow window.
Clean, slightly sweet mint built for SLS-containing toothpaste matrices. Formulated for the full rinse experience including the aftertaste, not just the initial application.
Sweet, candy-like wintergreen with characteristic methyl salicylate note. Works in confectionery and some oral care applications where a softer, sweeter mint direction is preferred over peppermint.
The library shows common starting points. If the exact profile you need is not listed, we can develop it custom, match a reference, or reformulate around your specific matrix and label requirements.
