Key actives
Mentholactive
Menthol is the cooling compound in mint. It acts on the nerve receptor that also answers to cold, which is why skin feels cool without any change in temperature. On this peeling gel's own ingredient list it is named twenty-fifth.
Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extractplant extract
Pinus Densiflora is Korean red pine, a plant with a long history in Korean traditional use. The needle extract is used as an antioxidant plant extract. The panel names it fifth on this peeling gel's list, beside Menthol.
Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extractplant extract
Ginger root extract. It carries gingerols, gives a warming sensory character, and is used as an antioxidant-rich herbal extract. It is named sixth on this peeling gel's list, alongside Menthol.
Eclipta Prostrata Extractplant extract
Eclipta Prostrata is false daisy, long used in Ayurvedic and East Asian practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract, most often in scalp and hair formulas. It is named eleventh on this peeling gel's list, alongside Menthol.
Coriandrum Sativum (Coriander) Extractplant extract
Coriander extract. It carries the plant's aromatic compounds and antioxidants and is used as a conditioning extract. The panel names it thirteenth on this peeling gel's list, beside Menthol.
How to use
- Apply to a clean, towel-dried scalp and massage in with fingertips, focusing on the areas that need it most.
Where does this peeling gel go in my routine?
After cleansing, in place of the toner step, on two evenings a week. Anything thinner than a peeling gel goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Menthol and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market peeling gel or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Menthol and all. We match this peeling gel to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this peeling gel contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citronellol, Geraniol, Limonene and Linalool. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this peeling gel is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Menthol?
Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract and Eclipta Prostrata Extract. The order they are printed in on this peeling gel's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Menthol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Coriandrum Sativum (Coriander) Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract and Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract.

How it works
The Rosemary Scalp Scrub is a 165g peeling gel, used after cleansing, in place of the toner step, on two evenings a week. The active it is built around is Menthol, named twenty-fifth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract and Eclipta Prostrata Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Menthol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the peeling gel format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the peeling gel AROMATICA sells in Korea, Menthol and all.
Worth knowing
- Give a scalp-care routine a few full weeks before judging it, since shedding and regrowth cycles move slower than a single wash-day can show.
- Introduce any new Korean-market formula on its own for the first few uses before layering it with the rest of an existing routine, so any reaction is easy to trace to a single product.
