What it is — Menthol (L-Menthol) (INCI: Menthol (L-Menthol)), also known as Menthol or l-menthol, is a scalp functional ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used as a compound from mint that produces a cooling, tingling sensation and a fresh, minty scent on the skin and scalp.

Typical use — It is used in scalp tonics, serums and scalp-care shampoos as part of a thinning- or shedding-focused routine. Consistency over weeks and months matters more than any single application.

Who it suits / good to know — Presented as supportive scalp care, not a medical treatment. Results vary by individual, and it is best used consistently over time. For diagnosed hair loss, a clinician can advise on evidence-based options.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive.
