Is menthyl lactate the same as ‘cooling agents’ like WS-23?
Both are synthetic TRPM8 activators, but different molecules. WS-23 (N,2,3-trimethyl-2-isopropylbutanamide) is a more recent synthetic cooling agent, mostly used in oral care and vaping products. WS-23 produces cooling without any menthol relationship at all — pure cooling sensation with zero menthol scent. Menthyl lactate retains a faint menthol echo. Both serve similar purposes; menthyl lactate has longer regulatory history and broader cosmetic use.
