cooling sensation

Feeling of coldness

A cooling sensation is the feeling of coldness on the skin or in the body, whether from actual temperature drop or from substances that trigger cold receptors.

Menthol produces a cooling sensation without lowering temperature.

The phrase appears often in product descriptions: This lotion provides a refreshing cooling sensation.
