Quick answer

The linked men's Rogaine foam contains 5% minoxidil. Its inactive ingredients must be checked on the foam label, not copied from a liquid minoxidil product.

What is the active ingredient in this Rogaine foam?

The active ingredient listed for the foam label is minoxidil 5% w/w.

Are inactive ingredients important?

Yes. Inactive ingredients affect the foam base, skin feel, and irritation context even though minoxidil is the active drug.
