What  organic compound made synthetically or obtained from corn mint, peppermint, or other mint oils is found in a product used to prevent infection of cuts, as well as to act as an astringent to reduce skin irritation?
Menthol Menthol is an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from corn mint, peppermint, or other mint oils. It is a waxy, crystalline substance, clear or white in colour, which is solid at room temperature and melts slightly above. The main form of menthol occurring in nature is (−)-menthol, which is assigned the (1"R",2"S",5"R") configuration. Menthol has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation. Menthol also acts as a weak kappa opioid receptor agonist.
Malabathrum Malabathrum, malabathron, or malobathrum, is the name used in classical and medieval texts for certain cinnamon-like aromatic plant leaves and an ointment prepared from those leaves. "Cinnamomum tamala" (sometimes given as "Cinnamomum tejpata"), grown most commonly in the eastern Himalayas, is thought to be a notable source of these leaves, although other species of "Cinnamomum" and even plants in other genera may also have been used. In ancient Greece and Rome, the leaves were used to prepare a fragrant oil, called "oleum malabathri", and were therefore valuable.
