These liquids vapoeise readily upon taking the heat from the skin surface. Faster vaporisation means faster consumption of heat, this is sensed by the skin. Thus cooling sensation.

Since the boilingbpoint of these substances are low when we put them on our palm it absorbs the heat of our body and is evaporated. The loss of heat resultrin the sensation of cooling.
