OGX Extra Strength Refreshing Scalp + Rosemary Oil Mint is a clarifying, leave-in scalp treatment from the mass-market OGX (Kenvue) line. It combines rosemary oil, peppermint extract, and witch hazel in a lightweight formula designed to lift oil, product buildup, and residue without stripping the scalp.

Hero botanicals & actives: Rosemary oil (circulation support), peppermint extract (cooling, tingling sensation), witch hazel (gentle astringent). These are genuine scalp-health actives, though present in a mostly carrier-oil base.

Application: Precision-tip applicator on damp, towel-dried hair; no rinse required. Marketed as part of a fuller scalp-care routine (pairs with their Rosemary Mint shampoo/conditioner).

Scent & feel: Minty-fresh, lightweight, non-greasy on application. Community feedback suggests it works well for oily roots and buildup-prone scalps; less celebrated for growth or density claims.

Growth claims: Anecdotal. OGX frames this as a clarifying / refreshing product, not a growth serum. Expect scalp relief and cleanliness, not visible density increase.

Who it's for: Oily scalp, product-buildup prone, scalp sensitivity. Works across hair types but not marketed as a hydration oil for dry scalps.
