MARO 17 Collagen Hair Shampoo Perfect Wash for Men

Product Description

MARO17 Perfect Wash is a strong-cleansing shampoo from MARO17, NatureLab Co., Ltd.'s (Tokyo, Japan) men's hair and scalp care line. The formula is built around a high-lathering sodium olefin sulfonate cleansing base, combined with a Capixyl peptide complex (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Red Clover Flower Extract), Collagen and Water-Soluble Collagen, Sodium Hyaluronate, Apple Fruit Culture Cell Extract, and Royal Jelly Extract, alongside a botanical blend of loquat leaf, Japanese angelica root, rehmannia root, jujube fruit, mugwort leaf, blackberry lily, soybean sprout, and algae/seaweed extracts. Menthol is included for a cooling sensation during use.

Type XVII Collagen (COL17A1) is a structural protein in hair follicle stem cells. Research has linked its breakdown to loss of stem cell function and hair follicle miniaturization associated with hair thinning, though this work is largely based on laboratory and mouse models. MARO describes this formula's Capixyl peptide complex as designed to support the scalp environment relevant to this pathway — a brand-stated formulation concept, not an independently verified clinical result for this specific product. MARO similarly describes the formula's conditioning ingredients as contributing to a fuller, more voluminous look and feel to the hair — again a brand-stated benefit rather than an independently verified claim.

Perfect Wash is MARO17's strong-cleansing formula, designed to thoroughly clear away excess sebum and buildup, and is best suited to oily or sebum-prone scalps. Because of its cleansing power, it may feel drying if you have a dry or sensitive scalp; MARO17 separately offers a Mild Scalp Wash with a gentler amino-acid cleansing base for that scalp type.

The formula is silicone-free. It contains ethanol and a milk-derived ingredient (whey), which is worth noting for anyone with related sensitivities. This product is classified as a cosmetic (化粧品) under Japanese regulations, not a quasi-drug.

How to Use

• Wet hair and scalp thoroughly.
