Our take
Is Mentha Rotundifolia Leaf Extract a Good Ingredient?
It mainly provides a mild mint aroma and fresh feel, with limited evidence for substantive conditioning effects, which is why it rates Fair. As a mint-derived extract, it also carries some potential for irritation or sensitization in sensitive individuals.
What it does

Before you use it
