Menthyl ethylamido oxalate

Menthyl ethylamido oxalate (CAS 1122460-01-8), commercially known as Frescolat X-Cool, is a synthetic cooling agent used in flavor and fragrance formulations.

Where is Menthyl ethylamido oxalate used?

• Personal care: cooling sensory effect in lip balms, toothpastes, shampoos, and skin care products
• Food and beverage: smooth, extended cooling profile in chewing gums, mints, and confectionery
• Pharmaceutical oral care: masks bitterness and improves palatability in lozenges and mouthwashes
• Fragrance blenders incorporate it into fine and functional fragrance applications to add a fresh dimension.

Good to know: It delivers a long-lasting, clean cooling sensation without the sharpness associated with menthol, making it a preferred alternative where a milder, more sustained effect is required.
