Product Description
Feel the instant cooling sensation of this shampoo that gently cleanses hair, soothes sensitive scalps and reduces inflammation and irritation.

Active ingredients

Cold essential oils of Peppermint, Eucalyptus and Camphor : Soothing, cleansing
Gentle cleansing base : Non-irritating

With the aroma of mint and eucalyptus, it actually reminded me of the scent of toothpaste instead. It was a free gift as part of a purchase from Cosme haul and I have brought it along for a short trip to Desaru over the weekend. With the 15ml size, I reckon it can last me for 1.5 weeks with a daily wash. Its already more than 50% used up after a week.

I have dandruff for the most part of my life, sometimes it gets worse, sometimes its manageable and sometimes, its almost non-existent. Hence, I would consider this soothing shampoo to be a good alternative to my regular shampoo usage.
 
I like the minty feeling on the scalp whenever I used it and sometimes I would leave it longer just to get a feel of the minty sensation. I do not have any issue with my scalp but since I have dandruff, I supposed that its considered as a sensitive and irritated scalp to most hair stylists. I do find myself having a lesser issue with dandruff ever since I started using this, my dandruff control seems better which is good news to me.

However it does not foam as much as I wanted so I tend to use slightly more than what I usually did.

According to Cosmeticscop , Sodium Laureth Sulfate used in this shampoo is considered as a milder cleansing agent as compared to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate however there are still tons of people who feel that both ingredients are best to be avoided. (source1) (source2)
