Processes Happening:
Menthol activates TRPM8 receptors → cooling and analgesia within minutes. Lipid oils (jojoba/squalane) reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and improve hydration acutely.
What users report seeing/feeling
- Immediate cooling + itch relief after use.
- Scalp feels clean but not stripped; oils begin restoring the barrier’s water balance (jojoba/squalane).
- Flakes look reduced from less Malassezia “food” (oil) after gentle cleansing.
