Kao Merit Shampoo: Gentle, Mildly Acidic Formula for a Healthy Scalp

Give your scalp and hair the gentle care they deserve. Kao Merit Shampoo creates a rich, fine-textured lather that cleanses effectively without stripping natural moisture. Formulated with five plant-derived moisturizing extracts (eucalyptus, chamomile, milk vetch, arborvitae, and birch) and fruit acid (malic acid), it leaves your hair feeling soft and your scalp refreshed.

The mildly acidic formula matches the natural pH of both hair and scalp, making it gentle and non-irritating. It is paraben-free, synthetic colorant-free, and silicone-free, reducing unnecessary additives. The active ingredient glycyrrhizic acid dipotassium (licorice extract) helps prevent dandruff and scalp itchiness, making this a quasi-drug product that supports overall scalp health.

A natural floral scent adds a subtle, soothing touch to your daily wash.
