Cooling Agent WS-5 Powder

Product Description

What Is Cooling Agent WS-5？

WS-5, a potent synthetic cooling agent belonging to the WS series, has a cooling effect approximately 3-4 times stronger than menthol. It lacks bitterness and irritation, and is long-lasting and stable, making it widely used in various fields, including food and beverage, oral care, and daily chemical products.

WS-5 is commonly used as a substitute for WS-3 (N-Ethyl-p-Menthol Carboxamide) due to its lower bitterness and longer-lasting cooling effect. It has a strong cooling sensation that can provide a refreshing and cooling effect when added to products such as candies, chewing gums, toothpaste, mouthwashes, and topical creams.
