MENTHYL SALICYLATE Structural

What is MENTHYL SALICYLATE?

Absorption

May be absorbed through intact skin. The absorption of topical salicylates is proportional to the surface area exposed, the duration of exposure, concentration and skin integrity. Absorption characteristics of salicylates vary with the dose, formulation, and route of administration. Percutaneous absorption is enhanced by exercise, heat, occlusion, or disruption of the integrity of the skin or application to large areas of skin. Both the rate and extent of absorption increases after continuous application, increasing its bioavailability .

Toxicity

Salicylate intoxication may occur after ingestion or topical application of menthyl salicylate. Mild chronic salicylate intoxication, also known as salicylism, normally occurs only after repeated use of large doses.
Salicylism can also occur following the excessive topical application of salicylates. Symptoms of toxicity include dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, sweating, nausea and vomiting, headache, and confusion, and may be controlled by reducing the dosage .
Symptoms of more severe intoxication or of acute poisoning following overdose include hyperventilation, fever, restlessness, ketosis, and respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis. Depression of the CNS may lead to coma, cardiovascular collapse and respiratory failure may also result .

Description

Methyl salicylate is almost odorless when pure. Slightly bitter-astringent taste. It carries the usual characteristics of a phenol, which are not exactly welcome by the perfumer.
