Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've used menthol at 1/2 of 1% ( .5%) and it was very strong, almost too strong--next time I make the lotion I put it in I plan to use half that much and see how it works.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 hmmmm sounds lovely. Wish I knew where to get the crystals. I usually spend a ton of time on the internet after googling what I want searching through the results.
