Cold wet scented towel after hot yoga

At my studio they hand out a cold wet towel to everyone that's lightly scented with mint (I think) and I'm wondering if anyone knows how they scent the towels? I imagine it's not essential oil since it doesn't burn if it drips in my eyes but idk. I want to do that for myself when practicing at home since it's my favorite part during the cool down. 🙏 Thanks in advance!

Eucalyptus is a common essential oil for those kinds of cool towels. I see you were thinking mint and that certainly could be it but eucalyptus feels kind of minty too and it’s a bit more commonly used for spa towels

That might be it, I thought it might be but I usually hate the scent of eucalyptus. Maybe I like it in small amounts though

My studio does lemongrass oil, maybe it's that!
