What is sauna ice? – Cool freshness for saunas
The Finnish sauna is full of tradition – but also constant renewal. One of the most interesting innovations of recent years is sauna ice : a refreshingly cooling, fragrant and easy-to-use way to bring a new experience to your sauna session. Leave traditional sauna scents aside for a moment and try Sauna Menthol sauna ice.
Sauna ice – what is it?
Sauna ice is an ice-like product containing crystallized menthol (mint oil), which when melted releases a refreshing sauna scent into the air. The product is placed in hot sauna water, thrown on the heater where it gently melts with the sauna – just like a traditional sauna scent, but with a cold twist and a completely new style.
In some contexts, sauna ice is also referred to as sauna crystal , especially when it is a crystalline structure in the form of pure menthol. This name refers to its visually appealing and natural form – like frozen freshness amidst the heat of the sauna.
Why try sauna ice?
Sauna ice combines the best elements of a Finnish sauna: naturalness, simplicity and a powerful sensory experience. The cool freshness of menthol is felt in the breath, on the skin and in the mind – the perfect counterbalance to hot steam baths.
Using sauna ice is simple
- Take 1-3 approximately 0.5cm crystals from the bag and add to the hot sauna water to dissolve.
- Wait for the crystals to dissolve properly (the melting point of menthol is 41 degrees)
- Take a steam bath and enjoy the cooling, long-lasting effect of sauna ice.
- If you don't feel anything, increase the dosage slightly next time.
Fragrant steam brings new energy – especially at the end of a long day or in the middle of flu season. Many people find that menthol opens the airways and relaxes the body effectively.
Modern sauna at its best
Sauna ice is a great example of how you can bring new dimensions to traditions without losing the original atmosphere. It is suitable for both home saunas and cottage saunas and is a great gift for the sauna enthusiast who has "already tried everything". Sauna crystal brings a cold glow to the sauna and sauna ice exudes a quiet coolness that perfectly complements the heat of the sauna. If you haven't tried it yet, now is the time - let your sauna breathe in a new way.
Sauna Menthol is a new era of sauna experience
Sauna Menthol sauna ice brings a cooling, opening and relaxing effect to saunas with only a small amount of menthol crystals. Many people use sauna ice continuously because the effects of menthol as part of their sauna routine have brought a completely new way of taking a sauna for many. Especially during the flu season, sauna ice helps to breathe and relieves congestion. In December 2025, new products Sauna Menthol Lavender , Sauna Menthol Lemon and Sauna Menthol Eucalyptus have been released under the Sauna Menthol brand. If you want to experience the exceptional properties of Sauna Menthol sauna ice, but also want a nuance of your desired scent, we recommend trying new options.
