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 shampoo's own ingredient list it is named thirteenth.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it nineteenth on this shampoo's list, beside Menthol.
Menthyl Lactateactive
Menthyl Lactate is a menthol derivative that gives a cooling sensation without menthol's sharpness or scent. It is a sensory ingredient rather than an active. It is named twentieth on this shampoo's list, alongside Menthol.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. The panel names it thirty-sixth on this shampoo's list, beside Menthol.
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. The panel names it seventeenth on this shampoo's list, beside Menthol.
How to use
- Massage into wet hair and scalp, lather, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with conditioner.
Where does this shampoo go in my routine?
In place of your usual shampoo, on hair wet all the way through. Anything thinner than a shampoo 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.
Does this shampoo contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits 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 shampoo is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Menthol?
Niacinamide, Menthyl Lactate and Madecassoside. The order they are printed in on this shampoo's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Menthol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Salicylic Acid, Gluconolactone and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.

How it works
The Doopi Lab Cool Salt Scaling Shampoo is a 500ml shampoo, used in place of your usual shampoo, on hair wet all the way through. The active it is built around is Menthol, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Menthyl Lactate and Madecassoside, 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 shampoo format rather than by the list alone. Dr.G sells this Menthol shampoo in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this shampoo on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Menthol on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Citric Acid and Gluconolactone on this list makes this shampoo an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
