Cooling Agent Ws 23
What is Cooling Agent Ws 23?
Cooling Agent WS-23 is a highly effective synthetic cooling agent that delivers a
refreshing cooling sensation without the minty or bitter aftertaste
of traditional menthol-based products. Known for its consistent
performance and versatility, WS-23 is widely used in food,
beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and vaping industries. Its
unique ability to provide a cool and soothing effect makes it an
essential ingredient in products designed for ultimate refreshment
and sensory enhancement.The chemical name of the cooling agent WS23
is N,2,3-trimethyl-2-(1-methylethyl) butanamide or N,2,3.
Trimethyl-2-isopropyl butanamide. The English name is
N,2,3-trimethyl-2isopropl butanamide. It is abbreviated as WS-23.
Molecular formula: C10H21NO, molecular weight: 171.29. It is
characterized by being refreshing, lasting, fresh, non-irritating
and spicy, non-bitter, and low in dosage.
Cooling agents are a general term for all chemical substances that
can produce a cooling effect and are not strong in medicinal
properties. The most common cooling agent is menthol (especially
L-menthol), but due to its strong odor and strong irritation to the
skin, mucous membrane tissue and eyes, it is not suitable for
large-scale use. Therefore, many scientists have synthesized and
extracted a new generation of cooling agents.
key Features
The role of cooling agent WS-23 in cosmetics is mainly as a cooling
agent and cooling enhancer.
1.Cooling agent WS-23, chemical name N,2,3-trimethyl-2-(1-methylethyl) butanamide,
English name N,2,3-trimethyl-2-isoproplbutanamide, molecular
formula C10H21NO, is an additive widely used in cosmetics, food,
beverages, medicine, electronic atomization and other fields.
2.Cooling agent: WS-23 can be used as a cooling agent for skin and lipstick to
provide a cooling feeling for the product, especially suitable for
summer or hot areas, which can bring consumers a refreshing
experience.
3.Cooling enhancer: In mint formulas, various spice formulas and oral care products,
WS-23 as a cooling enhancer can enhance the cooling effect of the
product and make the aroma of the product more vivid and lasting.
4.Improve product experience: The cooling sensation of WS-23 can last for more than 30 minutes,
which can bring consumers a pleasant sensory experience and
increase the attractiveness of the product.
5.Safety: WS-23 is non-irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, so it
is suitable for products with sensitive skin.
Applications
1. Cosmetics: used as a coolant for skin and lipstick
2. Perfume products: used as a coolant in mint formulas, various spice formulas and
light oral care products
3. Food additives: used as a coolant in chewing gum and children's candy
4. Air freshener: chemical extract essence, anti-oxidation, anti-angiogenesis,
anti-virus, making the air fresher
5. Perfume products: have a very strong floral or powdery fragrance, but with a little
modification, it can simulate natural musk and other animal
fragrances
6. Insect repellent: the insect repellent effect is better than DEET
(diethyl-m-toluamide), and it has largely replaced the use of
diethyl phthalate in insect repellents

Package & Storage
Our packing method is 1KG/Aluminium bags, 25kg/drum
For some products that require special packaging during
transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For
example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold
chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will
change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of
deoxyarbutin
