Here is the official extract from the developer: Symrise AG
Thermolat® creates a feeling like gentle, warming sunshine on the skin. This sensory ingredient developed by Symrise can be used in cosmetic formulations such as creams, gels and lip care products. The innovative active ingredient complex achieves a pleasant, relaxing and long-lasting feeling of warmth, without any unwanted stinging or burning.
71 % of consumers want an intense, warming feeling from their skin care products. At the same time, the product should not cause redness or stinging. Based on intensive research, Symrise has developed a suitable approach. The novel sensory ingredient Thermolat® addresses the skin's sensation of warmth and provides a gentle, comforting feeling.
Compared to the warming effect of the already established technologies with Vanillyl Butyl Ether (VBE), Thermolat® creates a controlled warming sensation and can significantly reduce side effects such as redness, burning and stinging, which can occur when using VBE alone. With this innovation, Symrise is adding a facet to its range of sensory ingredients for cosmetics (including the traditional cooling ingredients around Frescolat®), underlining its market leadership.
The pleasant warming sensation of Thermolat® can also help to enhance the perception of the effectiveness of a care and beauty product. In addition, Symrise has developed a test method for evaluating emotions in the topical application of cosmetic products. The company is a leader in this field. Results show that as little as 1% Thermolat® in a cosmetic formulation has a positive impact on mood balance, and its pleasant warming effect is easily associated with relaxing and soothing sensations.
Thermolat® is an odourless liquid whose effect begins within the first five minutes of application. The warming sensation can last up to two hours.
"Thanks to its safe and gentle mode of action, Thermolat® can be used in a wide range of care and beauty products and can give them the ability to induce a pleasant warming sensation," explains Caroline Baptiste, Global Product Manager at Symrise.

The properties of Thermolat® also convinced the jury of the renowned BSB Innovation Prize Awards for cosmetics, natural products and their ingredients. They awarded Thermolat® first prize in the category "Cosmetics/Innovative Ingredients/Functionals and Recipients" in London. As already published this year, Thermolat® also received the PCHi Innovation Award 2017.
