Is Shampoo FSA/HSA eligible?

Not eligible

No. Regular shampoo, conditioner, and soap are not FSA or HSA eligible.

A medicated shampoo prescribed for a diagnosed scalp condition may qualify with a Letter of Medical Necessity.

Why

What the IRS rules say

These are general personal hygiene products, not treatments for a medical condition, so the IRS excludes them. A medicated shampoo prescribed to treat a diagnosed scalp condition is a separate case that may require a Letter of Medical Necessity.

Based on IRS Publication 502.
