Can I just add peppermint essential oil to my regular shampoo?

While it's better than nothing, it's not the most effective method. Essential oils can separate or settle, and if not diluted properly, they can irritate a child's scalp. A professionally formulated mint shampoo ensures the peppermint is evenly distributed and safe for daily use, providing consistent protection across the entire head without the risk of skin reactions.

Does mint shampoo kill lice that are already on the head?

No, mint prevention shampoo is designed to repel lice, not kill them. If your child already has a lice infestation, a prevention shampoo will not eliminate the bugs or the nits (eggs). You would need a professional treatment or a specialized removal comb to clear an active case. Once clear, the mint shampoo helps prevent a re-infestation.

Is it safe to use mint prevention shampoo every day on young children?

Yes, our mint prevention shampoo is specifically formulated to be gentle and safe for daily use on children. It is sulfate-free and doesn't contain harsh pesticides. Most families find that it leaves hair soft and manageable while providing that crucial layer of scent-based protection that keeps lice from wanting to transfer to their child's hair.
