Details

A sulfate-free, MFDS-reported scalp-care functional shampoo built on salicylic acid, caffeine and biotin, ranked #2 in Hwahae's scalp-care shampoo category.

moét Scalp Shampoo is a Korean scalp-care shampoo that pairs a gentle, sulfate-free cleansing base (sodium cocoyl isethionate, coco-glucoside) with salicylic acid to clear scalp buildup, and caffeine and biotin to support a healthier-feeling scalp and fuller-feeling hair. It is reported to Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as a functional cosmetic, and ranks #2 in Hwahae's scalp-care shampoo category from 379 reviews averaging 4.59/5.

  • Scalp-care functional actives — salicylic acid exfoliates buildup while caffeine and biotin support scalp conditioning and fuller-feeling hair.
  • Gentle, sulfate-free lather — a mild coconut-derived surfactant base foams well without harsh sulfates.
  • MFDS-reported functional cosmetic — notified with Korea's MFDS as a functional scalp-care cosmetic (a cosmetic designation, not a drug).
  • Top-ranked — #2 in Hwahae's scalp-care shampoo ranking, 4.59/5 from 379 reviews.

Hero ingredients: Salicylic acid, caffeine and biotin in a sulfate-free, botanical-water base.

How to use: Massage a suitable amount into wet hair and scalp, work into a lather, leave briefly, then rinse thoroughly. Use daily or as part of your regular wash routine.

Read before you buy: This is a cosmetic scalp-care functional shampoo, not a medical treatment, and results vary by person. The formula contains fragrance as one of its higher-screened ingredients alongside salicylic acid, so patch test if your scalp is sensitive. A share of reviewers found hair feels stiffer after washing; pairing with a conditioner helps. The full ingredient list and our risk screening are on this page.

Heads up

Can feel stiff for some

21 of 379 reviewers found hair felt stiffer after washing, and a few found the thin, watery texture doesn't lather as rich as they'd like; a conditioner helps.
