Merit Shampoo Refill — eco-friendly refill pouch for Merit Shampoo pump bottle, same trusted clean-scalp formula.
About this product
The Merit Shampoo Refill is the economical, environmentally conscious companion to the Merit Shampoo pump bottle — containing the same trusted KAO formula that has made Merit Japan's go-to family shampoo for over 50 years, packaged in a lightweight refill pouch that uses significantly less plastic than a full replacement bottle. Designed for easy, no-mess pouring directly into the Merit pump bottle, the refill format is both cost-effective for regular users and aligned with KAO's ongoing commitment to reducing single-use plastic in everyday household products.
How to use
- Tear open the refill pouch at the indicated notch
- Pour the contents carefully into your empty Merit Shampoo pump bottle
- Recap the pump and proceed with normal daily use
- Wet hair, dispense 1–2 pumps, lather on scalp, massage, and rinse thoroughly
- Follow with Merit Conditioner if desired
Ingredients
- Sodium laureth sulfate — primary surfactant for rich, efficient scalp cleansing and sebum removal

- Zinc pyrithione (ZPT) — anti-dandruff active for scalp flake control
- Glycerin — humectant for scalp moisture balance during and after washing

- Fragrance — the same clean, light Merit scent as the pump bottle variant
FAQ
Is the formula identical to the pump bottle?
Yes — the refill contains exactly the same Merit Shampoo formula; only the packaging differs.
What size pump bottle does this refill fit?
The refill is designed for the Merit 450ml pump bottle; it may also fit similar KAO pump bottle formats.
How do I avoid spillage when refilling?
Use a small funnel if the pouch opening is narrow; pour slowly and steadily for spill-free transfer.
Is the empty pouch recyclable?
The empty pouch can be rinsed and recycled according to your local guidelines.
How many washes does one refill provide?
Approximately the same as the standard Merit 450ml pump — around 45–60 washes depending on hair length and amount used.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
Filipino scalps contend with an unusual combination of stressors — daily washing (or near-daily) in a tropical climate, pollution from traffic, and sebum production that runs high in heat — making Merit's thorough-yet-gentle cleanse formula precisely what the Philippine scalp needs.
Japan's best-selling shampoo since its launch in 1970, Merit lifts sebum, styling residue, and environmental pollutants from scalp and strands without stripping essential moisture — a lasting clean that doesn't rebound into extra oiliness within hours, available in 3 sizes.
