as it evaporates off ur skin it uses the heat from u, so it feels cold. if u notice u are left dry, not with wet fingers as u would expect. its to do with the chemicals in the product.
this is because it is a volatile organic liquid and rapidly evaporates, this produces cooling.
what a brilliant question!!!! I've always vaguely been aware of this but never bothered to ask why. Now I'll know too, and benefit from your question.
