One-step, weakly acidic shampoo that cleanses and conditions hair without a separate rinse-out conditioner.
About this product
Merit's original no-rinse-needed shampoo is a quasi-drug formula built to clean hair and scalp in a single step, skipping the follow-up conditioner. It's weakly acidic to match the natural pH of hair and scalp, blended with five botanical extracts and a built-in conditioning agent, and finished with a gentle natural floral scent. This 450ml pump bottle is the standard size.
How to use
- Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
- Pump shampoo into your palm and work into a lather on the scalp and hair.
- Massage gently, then rinse thoroughly with warm water — no separate conditioner needed.
- Use regularly as your everyday one-step shampoo.
Ingredients
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate — the active ingredient (licorice-derived) that helps soothe the scalp.
- Eucalyptus, Chamomile, Chinese Milk Vetch, Thujopsis & Birch Extracts — five botanical extracts blended for scalp conditioning.
- Malic Acid — a fruit acid that helps keep the formula weakly acidic, matching hair and scalp pH.
- High-polymer Dimethicone — a built-in conditioning agent so no separate rinse conditioner is needed.
