ABSTRACT

The cooling intensity of topical emulsions added with encapsulated or


free menthol was evaluated by a screened and trained panel recruited based on
the American Society for Testing and Materials method. A sensory panel
composed of 10 trained judges performed the evaluation of samples stored at
22 ⫾ 2C for 24 h and, after 28 days of storage, at 37.0 ⫾ 0.5C. The obtained
data were analyzed by analysis of variance and Tukey’s test. The results
showed an increase of cooling intensity as a function of encapsulated menthol
concentration. The opposite was observed in samples added with free menthol,
which may have caused sensory fatigue. Storage at 37 ⫾ 0.5C for 28 days
had no impact on the cooling intensity of emulsions containing encapsulated
menthol, demonstrating high stability and suggesting its application in cooling
skin care products. In contrast, emulsions added with free menthol showed a
drastic decrease of cooling intensity at 37 ⫾ 0.5C.

PRATICAL APPLICATIONS

This article deals with sensory assessment of the cooling intensity of


topical emulsions added with encapsulated menthol under accelerated storage
conditions. In all, the work is a major contribution to (1) investigating the

INTRODUCTION

Cooling sensation is desired by consumers of skin care products designed


to clean, hydrate, rejuvenate and refresh skin after exposure to sun. In order to
develop this attribute, formulators have used menthol, which when applied
topically, causes a feeling of coolness as a result of the stimulation of cold
receptors by inhibition of calcium currents of neuronal membranes (Eccles
1994; Galeotti et al. 2002).
Menthol, a cyclic terpene alcohol found in high concentrations in oils of
peppermint and corn mint, occurs widely in nature and is endowed with the
peculiar property to be a fragrance, flavor and cooling agent. For this reason,
menthol has been widely used in over-the-counter medications, cosmetics and
food for over a century. However, its high volatility is an important issue in
its application and in the shelf life of cooling skin care products, as evapora-
tion reduces the initial cooling intensity (Liu et al. 2000; Buschmann and
Schollmeyer 2002; Layre et al. 2002; Soottitantawat et al. 2005). In this sense,
the encapsulation of menthol in carrier matrices seems to be useful in preventing
and solving the problem already mentioned as well as degradative reactions
and solubility enhancement in water to avoid the use of organic solvents such
as ethanol. In addition, controlled release of menthol from the carrier matrices
could also be a useful application (Buschmann and Schollmeyer 2002;
Soottitantawat et al. 2005). These advantages could increase the stability of
menthol and extend the cooling sensation it produces, even after long periods.
The skin sensory performance of topical products is an important factor
for potential sales of any cosmetic product. Sensory characteristics are as
important to consumers as efficacy and safety claims, and motivation to pur-
chase and use the product is influenced by its sensory properties (Close 1994).
Meanwhile, the storage conditions during the whole shelf life of a product can
modify the initial intensity of skin sensory attributes. Although significant
advances have been made in the understanding of how different storage con-
ditions influence the physical, chemical and microbiological properties of skin
care products, little attention has been given to the sensory characteristics of
such products. As a consequence, interest in techniques for evaluating sensory
attributes in a reliable manner has been growing in scientific research on
cosmetics. In this context, descriptive sensory analysis has been considered the
most appropriate method to measure the intensity and quality of sensations

evoked during and after product application and can be used to assess the
stability of sensory attributes during the shelf life of a product (Civille and Dus
1991; Lawless and Heymann 1999; Wortel and Wiechers 2000; Murray et al.
2001; Irigoyen et al. 2005).
Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the cooling intensity of topical emul-
sions containing different concentrations of encapsulated and free menthol
and to verify the influence of storage temperatures on the intensity of this
attribute by a screened and trained panel recruited based on the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) method.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Samples
Non-ionic oil-in-water emulsions containing magnesium aluminum sili-
cate (RT Vanderbilt, Norwalk, CT), xanthan gum (Rhodia, Cranbury, NJ),
bi-distilled glycerin USP (Labsynth, Diadema, Brazil), propylene glycol
(Labsynth, Diadema, Brazil), C12-C15 alkyl benzoate (Eigenmann &
Veronelli, Milan, Italy), phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol (ISP, Wayne, NJ)
and distilled water were used and to which the following were added: (1) 1.0,
3.0 and 5.0% w/w of encapsulated menthol (Chemyunion, Sao Paulo, Brazil);
and (2) 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0% w/w of menthol as conventional raw material (free
form) (Pharmaspecial, Sao Paulo, Brazil). It is important to emphasize that
preliminary tests were carried out to identify the lowest concentration of both
menthol forms capable of providing perceptible cooling, and the concentra-
tions were adjusted to provide about equal sensory impact.
Samples were packed in identical white polyethylene flasks codified with
three aleatory digits, which were randomly changed in training and at each
evaluation, and assessed after 24 h of storage at room temperature (22 ⫾ 2C)
and after a period equal to 28 days of storage at 37.0 ⫾ 0.5C (Brasil 2004).

Subjects and Methods


Sensory analysis was developed according to ASTM (1997) method E
1490 by selecting and training judges in order to form a panel able to quantify
the cooling intensity of the emulsions.

Selecting Subjects. The subjects were recruited based on questionnaires


and on inclusion criteria suggested by ASTM (1997) method E 1490. In the
questionnaires, the subjects’ ability to use rating scales and their capacity to
interpret and verbalize sensations using descriptive words were assessed.
According to the inclusion criteria, individuals demonstrating readiness and
34

interest to participate in the test, without health problems, with 75% or more
correct answers in reporting sensations and with 80% or more success in scale
exercises, were qualified to be included in the panel. Thus, 14 women, whose
ages ranged from 19 to 30 years, were selected to participate in training for
descriptive sensory analysis.

Training. After selection, subjects were exposed to a range of reference


materials in order to understand and produce their own definition of the
attribute “cooling intensity.” This process was facilitated by a panel leader,
who was not part of the judging. The substances used in this phase were
mineral oil (Labsynth, Diadema, Brazil) and cyclopentasiloxane (Dow
Corning, Midland, MI) to represent none or minimum cooling effect, and
ethylic and isopropyl alcohols (Labsynth, Diadema, Brazil) to represent high
cooling effect. Candidates were asked to rate the cooling intensity of three
samples chosen specifically to represent the range for the attribute tested, and
then they defined the reference materials and the descriptive evaluation ballot.
The reference materials selected were cyclopentasiloxane and isopropyl
alcohol, representing minimum (low) and maximum (high) cooling intensity,
respectively. A non-structured scale anchored on both ends with the terms for
minimum and maximum intensity was used.
In order to ensure panel performance, the subjects evaluated three differ-
ent samples containing only encapsulated menthol using the descriptive evalu-
ation ballot. The assessment was performed in triplicate. Two-way analysis of
variance (ANOVA - samples ¥ subjects interaction) was carried out to assess
discrimination, reproducibility and samples ¥ subjects interactions. Signifi-
cant levels (p) of Fsample and Freplicate values were computed for each judge, and
individuals were selected as judges based on their discriminative capacity
(pFsample < 0.30) ability to reproduce results (pFreplicate > 0.05) and individual
consensus with the sensory panel. After 15 rubs, two subjects did not perceive
a significant difference between at least two samples, while two individuals did
not reproduce their results. Moreover, the values attributed to samples by these
subjects were different from that of the panel as a whole. Therefore, these
subjects were eliminated and only 10 subjects were selected as judges for the
sensory panel.

Sensory Analysis. The sensory analysis protocol proceeded in con-


trolled temperature conditions with preconditioning of samples and judges.
Three circles, each 40 mm in diameter, were marked in the forearm
of judges. Before product application, the test areas were cleansed. Samples
were presented in monadic form following an experimental design based on
Williams’ Latin squares: each sample was dispensed once in each position by
each judge (Périnel and Pagès 2004). The evaluations were accomplished in
35

individual booths, being requested between samples that excess of previous


one was removed with absorbent paper.
Each judge evaluated the samples using a 9-cm non-structured scale with
terms for minimum and maximum intensity anchored on the ends. One gram
of each sample was dispensed, and the judges were instructed to scoop the
product out of the weight boat with a specified finger (index, medium or ring
finger) and place it on the center of the circle. Immediately after the sample
was dispensed, judges spread the product in the circle with constant circular
movements (one stroke per second). After 3 and 15 rubs, the judges evaluated
cooling intensity by tracing a vertical mark on the scale (ASTM 1997).
Data analysis was carried out by using a three-way ANOVA with repeated
measures in a statistical mixed model. Menthol concentrations, number of rubs
and storage duration were considered as fixed effects and the judges as random
effects. This analysis was carried out for data related to each type of menthol.

The same letters on top of the averages indicate that the difference among them was not statistically
significant (P > 0.05).

In Fig. 1, the results indicate a statistically significant difference


(Frub = 71.76, P < 0.05) in perceptible cooling intensity after 3 and 15 rubs
among different encapsulated menthol concentrations in both storage tempera-
tures. Judges attributed higher cooling values to samples added with higher
encapsulated-menthol concentration (Fconcentration = 66.59, P < 0.05). These
results suggest that encapsulated menthol promoted no sensory fatigue in the
studied concentrations. Thus, encapsulated menthol allowed discriminated
cooling perception even in the highest concentration (5.0% w/w) as demon-
strated in Fig. 1. The opposite was true for samples containing free menthol, as
judges noticed no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) among samples
containing 0.5 and 1.0% w/w in both temperatures, suggesting the occurrence
of sensory fatigue caused by menthol in its conventional form (Fig. 2). The
perceived temperature effect is not caused by the evaporation of menthol or by
vasodilatation, but is due to its specific action on sensory nerve endings.
Menthol exerts effects on cold receptors by interfering with the movement of
calcium across the cell membrane (Eccles 1994). Cool sensation caused by
application of menthol to the skin is apparent when low or threshold concen-
trations are used, but menthol has both irritant and local anesthetic actions
when used in higher concentrations (1.0–5.0%) (Eccles 1994). Therefore, the
encapsulation could promote a gradual liberation of menthol that could pos-
sibly stimulate the sensory nerve endings little by little without causing fatigue
in higher concentrations.
37

32 V. ZAGUE ET AL.

The sensory impact of menthol when applied to skin depends on the


concentration of menthol. There is some information on the dose–response
characteristics of menthol which report that low concentrations give a cool
sensation whereas high concentrations of 1–5% cause irritation and local
anesthesia. However, it is often difficult to compare studies when different
aqueous and organic vehicles are used for the application of menthol, as the
solvent influences the biological activity of the menthol.
Yosipovitch et al. (1996) found that menthol had a subjective cooling
effect lasting up to 70 min in 12 out of 18 subjects, and alcohol produced an
immediate cold sensation lasting up to 5 min in 4 out of 18 subjects. Moreover,
the transepidermal water loss at the site treated with menthol was significantly
higher than the transepidermal water loss at the alcohol-treated and control
sites, suggesting that menthol has a stronger skin irritating effect, or at least
alters the water permeability of the stratum corneum. Green (1992) carried out
psychophysical measurements on the sensory effects of menthol applied topi-
cally to the human forearm under controlled thermal conditions. Menthol as a
5.0% solution in ethanol heightened the perception of skin cooling and attenu-
ated the perception of moderate skin warming. Menthol was also shown to
have pungent or irritant properties, which were enhanced by the cooling of
the skin.
The volatility of menthol propitiates its evaporation at room temperature
in a short period of time. According to Liu et al. (2000), the encapsulation of
this substance could provide higher stability, delaying its evaporation and
prolonging its cooling effect. This interpretation is supported by the results
obtained in this study and presented in Fig. 1. After 3 and 15 rubs, submitting
samples added with encapsulated menthol at 37 ⫾ 0.5C for 28 days did not
alter cooling perception in a significant manner (Ftime = 1.27, P > 0.05) when
compared with the initial condition. Thus, data indicate the stability of encap-
sulated menthol and its convenient use in topical formulations in order to
maintain cooling effect over the whole shelf life of the product. In contrast,
samples containing free menthol presented a drastic decrease of their initial
cooling intensity after 28 days at 37 ⫾ 0.5C (Ftime = 1,488.42, P < 0.05) as
shown in Fig. 2. The temperature sensitivity of free menthol could be an
explanation for these results.
Finally, we noted that cooling values attributed to samples containing 3
and 5% w/w encapsulated menthol, stored at 22 ⫾ 2C and 37 ⫾ 0.5C, after 15
rubs, were significantly smaller (P < 0.05) than those reported after three rubs
(Fig. 1). It was surprising because an increase in cooling intensity should have
happened after a longer rubbing time (15 rubs), as encapsulated menthol
consists of a modified liberation system. A possible explanation for this could
be the generation of warmth during rubbing movements (friction), which may
have masked the true cooling intensity.

INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON COOLING OF EMULSIONS 33

The results reported here clearly show the feasibility of sensory analysis
for determining the cooling intensity of different forms and concentrations of
menthol and for evaluating the preservation of this attribute in different storage
temperatures. Further studies will focus on time–intensity descriptive analysis
to examine the effect of time on the perception of the cooling intensity of
encapsulated menthol.

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, this study was useful for assessing the impact of storage
temperature on the cooling intensity of topical emulsions added with encap-
sulated menthol when compared with menthol in its conventional form. The
results showed that the concentration of encapsulated menthol had a signifi-
cant (P < 0.05) influence on cooling intensity: the higher the concentration, the
higher cooling intensity perceived. The opposite was observed in samples
added with free menthol, which probably caused sensory fatigue. Moreover,
storage at 37 ⫾ 0.5C for 28 days had no statistically significant (P > 0.05)
impact on the cooling intensity of emulsions containing encapsulated menthol,
demonstrating its high stability and suggesting its application in cooling skin
care products. On the other hand, emulsions added with free menthol showed
a drastic decrease of cooling intensity after 28 days at 37 ⫾ 0.5C.

Menthol is a naturally occurring cyclic terpene alcohol of plant origin, which has been used since antiquity
for medicinal purposes. Its use in dermatology is ubiquitous, where it is frequently part of topical
antipruritic, antiseptic, analgesic, and cooling formulations. Despite its widespread use, it was only recently
that the mechanism by which menthol elicits the same cool sensation as low temperature was elucidated
upon, with the discovery of the TRPM8 receptor. Although almost 5 years have passed since the discovery
of this receptor, many dermatologists are still unaware of menthol’s underlying target. The purpose of this
review is to highlight the recent advances in the mechanism of action of menthol and to provide an
overview of its dermatologic applications. ( J Am Acad Dermatol 2007;57:873-8.)
