It is a super-agonist of the TRMP8 ion-channel which is a receptor on our mucous membranes that gives us the cold feeling from temperature and food such as mint. The compound is not found in nature and is fully synthetic, there are no other known natural compounds that induce a colder feeling. Don't conduct any chemical reactions without proper and professional safety analysis and risk management. Measures taken can be invisible, not filmed, not properly visible on camera or misjudged by the viewer due to setup or video construction. Always conduct own appropriate measures regardless of video setup.
