(Malin+Goetz) Peppermint Shampoo (Size Options)

There's a reason this has been (MALIN+GOETZ)'s signature shampoo since day one - and a reason it keeps ending up in more bathrooms than almost anything else they make. The Peppermint Shampoo is a powerfully clarifying, daily-use formula built around sustainably sourced peppermint leaf oil and a gentle coconut-derived surfactant blend that cuts through buildup, oil, and debris without stripping, drying, or leaving residue. An eleven-amino-acid complex conditions and nourishes as it cleanses, and sodium PCA keeps the scalp balanced rather than reactive. The cooling, tingling sensation on the scalp is entirely from the peppermint - and once you've felt it, every other shampoo will feel like something is missing. 

Who's It For

For all hair types and scalp types - this is a genuinely universal shampoo. Particularly well-suited to anyone dealing with oily scalp, product buildup, or dullness, and gentle enough for daily use, colour-treated hair, and sensitive scalps. If you've only ever used one shampoo, make it this one.

Key Benefits

• Clarifies without stripping. The coconut-derived surfactant blend creates a rich, foamy lather that thoroughly removes oil, sweat, and product buildup without the harsh aftermath - hair comes out clean without that squeaky, over-cleansed feeling.
• Peppermint invigorates the scalp. Sustainably sourced peppermint leaf oil delivers a genuine cooling and tingling sensation that stimulates circulation, refreshes the scalp, and leaves you feeling considerably more awake than you were before the shower.
• Eleven amino acids nourish and condition. A comprehensive amino acid complex - rich in the same building blocks as healthy hair - moisturizes and softens from root to tip while the surfactants do their work.
• Sodium PCA keeps the scalp balanced. A naturally occurring component of the scalp's own moisture system, sodium PCA helps maintain hydration and prevent the dryness or overproduction of oil that follows a stripping cleanse.
• Safe for colour-treated hair. Gentle enough for processed and colour-treated hair without compromising on cleansing effectiveness. 

Scent Profile

Cool, clean, and immediately invigorating - this is peppermint done properly, without veering into toothpaste territory. The scent is fresh and herbal with a crisp menthol brightness that opens up the sinuses and genuinely wakes you up. It rinses clean rather than lingering heavily, leaving a subtle freshness on the hair without competing with any cologne or fragrance worn afterward.

Key Ingredients

• Peppermint Leaf Oil (Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil) - Sustainably sourced and antioxidant-rich, peppermint oil invigorates and cools the scalp, acts as a gentle astringent to help lift dead skin cells and clarify, and provides the shampoo's signature tingling sensation.
• Coconut Surfactant Blend (Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate) - A trio of gentle, coconut-derived cleansing agents that create a rich lather and effectively remove dirt and buildup without stripping moisture or irritating the scalp.
• Amino Acid Complex - 11 acids (Arginine, Glycine, Alanine, Serine, Valine, Isoleucine, Proline, Threonine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Aspartic Acid) - A comprehensive blend that mirrors the hair's own protein building blocks, moisturizing, softening, and improving the overall feel and manageability of hair with every wash.
• Sodium PCA - A naturally occurring component of the scalp's NMF (natural moisturising factor); helps maintain scalp hydration and balance following cleansing.
• Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride - A plant-derived conditioning agent that reduces static, improves detangling, and leaves hair feeling smooth and manageable post-rinse. 

How To Use

Massage a small amount onto wet hair and scalp to create a gentle lather. Rinse clean. Repeat if desired. For an enhanced scalp treatment effect, leave on for 1-3 minutes before rinsing - the peppermint will cool, stimulate, and clarify with extended contact. Follow with the (MALIN+GOETZ) Cilantro Hair Conditioner for a complete wash routine.

Why MASC Recommends This

The Peppermint Shampoo is one of those products that sells itself the moment someone tries it - the scalp sensation alone is enough to convert most people on the spot. But it earns its long-term loyalty through what it actually does: a genuinely thorough, balanced cleanse that works for every hair type without any of the trade-offs. We've carried it since the beginning of our relationship with (MALIN+GOETZ), and it consistently ends up being the product new customers reorder first. There's a reason the travel kit version is always the first thing to go.
