We love the fact that this shampoo is made in the USA and it does not contain a bunch of chemically-based ingredients. Also, it is 100% additive-free and isn’t tested on animals. This shampoo’s main ingredients include a rich blend of tea tree oil and peppermint oil. Tea tree oil has been used for hundreds of years because of it’s dandruff-fighting properties. In fact, according to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, a study found that tea tree oil has antifungal properties that have been proven to treat dandruff. And that also makes it the perfect ingredient for treating a dry, itchy scalp. As an added bonus, the peppermint oil leaves your scalp with an invigorating tingle that men say calms the irritation.

The cost of this shampoo is rougly $12 for a 16-ounce bottle. Although it is a little more than your average drugstore shampoo, you’re paying for quality ingredients. Not to mention, a small amount of shampoo provides a lot of lather. The good news is it’s backed with a full money-back guarantee. So if you don’t love it you can request a full refund.

You get a very pleasant smell with this shampoo—as one user put it, a “chemically fresh” scent. This is the result of the tea tree oil, jojoba oil, rosemary extract, and other naturally nice-smelling ingredients. The shampoo is free of any artificial fragrances that could irritate your skin.

One user compared its texture to “honey”, and you’ll find it’s a thick shampoo that goes a long way with just a small dollop per use.

It’s loaded with biotin (Vitamin H), which has proven effective for improving hair health and may even be able to slow (in some cases, even reverse) hair thinning and loss.

The ingredients are all natural and non-GMO, and the shampoo is hypoallergenic and free of sulfates and parabens.

At $12, this is a well-priced shampoo! The 8-ounce bottle may be a bit smaller than average, but considering the potency of the shampoo, it’s definitely one worth trying.

The product has a fragrance that can be described as either like “vanilla and honey” or “rose-y” (men can smell pretty too!), but it’s so subtle you can hardly smell it. Because it works for both men and women, and doesn’t have much of a fragrance, you can expect your girlfriend or wife to use it without telling you. We suggest sharing – or hiding it if you’re no good at the sharing thing.
