Philip B. Peppermint Avocado Shampoo
Philip B's original clarifying shampoo, on sale since the nineties: peppermint and menthol for the scalp, avocado and two hydrolyzed proteins for the hair, and a lather you leave on for a minute or three. It strips residue without stripping the hair, which is the entire difficulty with clarifying shampoos.
