Long-Lasting Cooling Agent for Candy & Beverages

Cooling agents have become an essential additive across vaping, food, oral care and cosmetic industries in 2026. As global demand for mild, long-lasting cooling ingredients keeps rising, high-purity synthetic coolants like WS-23, WS-3 and WS-5 continue to dominate the market, replacing traditional menthol in more application scenarios.

Traditional menthol features strong mint aroma and bitter aftertaste, which may ruin original flavors and cause throat irritation, especially in e-liquid products. In contrast, modern synthetic cooling agents deliver clean, pure cooling sensation with nearly no odor or harsh taste. They also own outstanding heat resistance and stable performance during production and storage. For this reason, more manufacturers choose to upgrade their formulas with new-type cooling agents this year.

Regulatory compliance remains the core focus of the industry. Mainstream cooling agents have passed FDA and FEMA safety certifications, meeting international food and cosmetic grade standards. Strict quality control is implemented throughout production to ensure high purity above 99.5%, fully satisfying requirements for e-cigarette liquid, beverages, chewing gum and personal care goods.

Cooling agent application scenarios: e-liquid, oral care and snacks

Market analysts point out that the global cooling agent market will maintain steady growth in the second half of 2026. Downstream brands tend to pursue low irritation, long cooling duration and flavor-friendly additives. High-efficiency, cost-effective synthetic cooling agents will keep expanding market share. Meanwhile, customized formulas and diversified specifications will become new competitive highlights for suppliers.
