Re: Just curious...why does WEN use menthol?

I think it he uses it because it gives more of a "clean" feeling on the scalp. That way, it'll help convince sceptic a that their scalp is actually clean. I say this because whenever I use the tea tree shampoo in the salon everyone says "Wow! My scalp feels so clean!" And menthol gives a similar sensation

You know, I finally caved in and started using Wen and while I have no adverse reactions to menthol or citrus, I've been reading ALOT of complaints about hair loss and even about a class action lawsuit to that fact. I've ditched the Wen until things settle down. I'm a little angry at myself for giving in to the hype of WEN. The guy has always creeped me out and I never watch his shows. Stoopid me!!!!

And is there a law that says I CAN'T post what I did??? I don't think so--I've heard far worse about many things than this. And the man is all over TV so, of course I've seen him and know who he is. Chill---ladies!!!!

I love the kids scents and use them occasionally...but Im not super interested in smelling like a fruit bowel all the time. For me the menthol is stronger in some scents and makes me not like them. Like the FTP...all I can smell is menthol in that one.


I was under the assumption that the seasonals do not contain menthol.

The seasonals have more menthol in it than the core formulas.

Missy823, where did you find this? I really thought that a maybe the opposite was true, as the cores have more of a menthol smell to them, at least to my nose.?? just wondering.

The menthol is higher up on the ingredients list for the seasonals. For the core formulas its towards the end of the listing.
