About this product
Merit No-Conditioner-Needed Shampoo is KAO's long-running "shampoo only, no conditioner required" formula, and this Cool Type version adds a menthol-powered chill for a refreshing wash. Weakly acidic to match scalp and hair pH, it blends licorice-root-derived dipotassium glycyrrhizate with five plant extracts (eucalyptus, chamomile, lespedeza, thujopsis, and birch) plus malic acid to leave hair smooth without a separate conditioning step.
How to use
- Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
- Pump shampoo into your palm and work into a lather.
- Massage into the scalp and through the lengths of hair.
- Rinse thoroughly — no conditioner is needed afterward.

FAQ
Do I still need to use conditioner after this shampoo?
No — it's formulated as a "no-conditioner-needed" shampoo with conditioning agents already built in, so most users skip a separate conditioner.
Is the Cool Type different from the regular Merit shampoo?
Yes — Cool Type adds menthol for a tingling, refreshing sensation, while the base cleansing and conditioning formula is similar to regular Merit shampoo.
Is it gentle enough for daily use?
It's formulated to be weakly acidic (matching scalp pH) and free of parabens and synthetic colorants for everyday washing, but stop use if irritation occurs.
🇺🇸 For US customers
Merit, an everyday Japanese shampoo launched in 1970, is known for its no-conditioner-needed ("rinsu no iranai" in Japanese) format — and this Cool Type version brings a menthol chill plus a weakly-acidic, five-plant-extract formula that skips the conditioner step entirely.
