Stimulate & Renew Shampoo uses peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and rosemary extract to increase scalp blood circulation and promote follicle activity. This formula targets thinning hair, slow-growing hair, and scalps that feel sluggish or fatigued.
Who this is for
• Hair that grows slowly or feels stuck in a rut
• Thinning areas where you want to encourage fuller growth
• Scalps that need stimulation and improved circulation
• Anyone looking for natural alternatives to pharmaceutical hair growth treatments
Key ingredients and what they do
• Peppermint oil: Increases dermal thickness, follicle number, and follicle depth in clinical studies; menthol content widens blood vessels to increase blood flow
• Eucalyptus oil: Enhances circulation, reduces scalp inflammation, contains 1,8-cineole for follicle stimulation
• Rosemary extract: Shown in 6-month clinical trials to increase hair count comparably to minoxidil 2%; improves microcapillary perfusion
• Wintergreen oil: Provides methyl salicylate for anti-inflammatory effects
• Tea tree oil: Antimicrobial properties keep scalp clean and balanced
• MSM (methylsulfonylmethane): Sulfur compound that supports keratin production
• Saw palmetto extract: May help block DHT, a hormone linked to hair thinning
What to expect
• Cooling, tingling sensation during use (this is the menthol increasing circulation)
• Peppermint and tea tree scent
• Best results with consistent use over 6+ weeks
• Pair with Stimulate & Renew Conditioner for optimal results

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this shampoo actually help with hair growth?
The key ingredients—peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and rosemary extract—have clinical research supporting their effects on hair growth. A study published in Toxicological Research found that 3% peppermint oil showed significant increases in dermal thickness, follicle number, and follicle depth. Rosemary oil performed comparably to minoxidil 2% in a 6-month randomized trial, with both groups experiencing significant hair count increases. This shampoo won't regrow hair on permanently dormant follicles, but it can improve scalp circulation and create better conditions for existing follicles to function.
Why does my scalp tingle when I use this?
The tingling sensation comes from menthol in the peppermint oil. Menthol causes blood vessels to widen, which increases blood flow to the scalp. This is the intended effect—it means the formula is working to stimulate circulation. The sensation should feel cooling and invigorating, not painful. If you experience burning or intense discomfort, rinse immediately and reduce application amount.
How often should I use Stimulate & Renew Shampoo?
Use 2-3 times per week for best results. The directions recommend applying to wet hair, lathering, rinsing, then repeating—this double-wash ensures the active ingredients have adequate contact time with your scalp. Daily use isn't necessary and may be too stimulating for sensitive scalps. Alternate with Griffin Remedy Daily Renewal Shampoo if you wash hair daily.
Can I use this if I have a sensitive scalp?
Start with once-weekly use to test tolerance. Peppermint and tea tree oils are potent and can irritate sensitive skin. If you experience redness, itching beyond the normal tingling, or flaking, discontinue use. This formula is designed for scalps that need strong stimulation—if you have sensitivity, Griffin Remedy Scalp Therapy Shampoo (with aloe vera and tea tree) may be a gentler option.
Is this shampoo safe for color-treated hair?
Yes. The formula is sulfate-free (no sodium lauryl sulfate) and doesn't contain harsh detergents that strip color. However, the stimulating ingredients may slightly open hair cuticles during washing. Always follow with conditioner and expect the same gradual color fade you'd see with any natural shampoo.
What's the difference between this and your other shampoos?
Stimulate & Renew is specifically formulated for scalp circulation and follicle stimulation. It contains the highest concentration of circulation-boosting oils (peppermint, eucalyptus, wintergreen) in the Griffin Remedy line. Compare to:
• Daily Renewal: Gentle enough for everyday use, sea buckthorn for balance
• Scalp Therapy: Targets itchy, flaky scalps with aloe vera and tea tree
• Volumizing: Adds body with jojoba oil and vitamin B complex
• Age Renewal: Addresses age-related thinning with argan oil and vitamin C
How long until I see results?
Hair growth cycles take time. Clinical studies on rosemary oil showed no significant change at 3 months, but significant hair count increases at 6 months. Expect to use this shampoo consistently for 8-12 weeks before noticing changes in hair thickness or growth rate. Improved scalp condition (less dryness, better circulation sensation) may be noticeable within 2-3 weeks.
Do I need the matching conditioner?
The Stimulate & Renew Conditioner extends the circulation benefits and provides moisture without weighing hair down. It's not required, but the system is designed to work together. If you prefer a different conditioner, choose one that's lightweight—heavy conditioners can counteract the volumizing effects of this shampoo.
Can I use this with minoxidil or other hair loss treatments?
Yes. This shampoo is compatible with topical hair loss treatments. Apply minoxidil to a clean, dry scalp after washing. The shampoo may actually enhance absorption by improving scalp circulation. However, if you're using prescription treatments, consult your dermatologist before adding new products
