How it works
The Sea Salt Therapy Scalp Scaler is a 120g scalp treatment, used on a clean, towel-dried scalp, in the evening. The active it is built around is Menthol, named ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Centella Asiatica Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Isopropyl Myristate, 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 scalp treatment format rather than by the list alone. Growus sells this Menthol scalp treatment in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Menthol, the active this scalp treatment is built around
- Centella Asiatica Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the same list, plant extracts
- Isopropyl Myristate on the same list, an emollient
- Panthenol on the same list, a humectant
- Menthol named ninth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
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 scalp treatment's own ingredient list it is named ninth.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it eleventh on this scalp treatment's list, beside Menthol.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is named twelfth on this scalp treatment's list, alongside Menthol.
Isopropyl Myristateemollient
It is known to be poorly suited to blemish-prone skin at higher levels. It is named sixth on this scalp treatment's list, alongside Menthol.
Panthenolhumectant
Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh. It is named tenth on this scalp treatment's list, alongside Menthol.
Where does this scalp treatment go in my routine?
On a clean, towel-dried scalp, in the evening. Anything thinner than a scalp treatment 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 scalp treatment 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 scalp treatment is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Menthol?
Centella Asiatica Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Isopropyl Myristate. The order they are printed in on this scalp treatment's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Menthol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Panthenol.
