perfumers alcohol is actually alcohol, Isoporpyl myristate and propylene glycol mixture, which is much better
Ethanol (denatured) -Alcohol which is the main carrier for the fragrance oils. This evaporates quickly as it is warmed by skin temperature releasing the fragrances evenly over the...
i used aloe vera juice for cosmetics
store bought products seem to be using normal water, but this is a slight improvement
this product is also an ethanol, essential oil water mix, i don't see a solubiliser

this also looks...
perfumers alcohol is specifically designed for cosmetic use
things like everclear are food grade, but too hard to source.
the problem is past 65%, the oils would separate out of the ethanol
or you could experiment with the Pashana products but you don't control the formula.
I found a company mixing ethanol with essential oils - Pashana
https://www.malegroomingsupplies.com/collections/pashana
everything there is ethanol, essential oils and water mixed in
the secret is to use perfumers alcohol
so you want 75% perfumers alcohol (the alcohol itself is 100%, I meant...
actually olive squalene oil may be a good carrier - it's non greasy, absorbs almost instantly without a greasy residue.
so just olive squalene oil and about 6 or 7 essential oils mixed in, 3 drops, each per 50ml
i do that formula
what you could do if you don't want to make it is buy a hair formula with polysorbate 20 already in it,
and add in the essential oils so they mix into it automatically, you don't want them to float on top - might not work though. i prefer mixing it myself
these are the most...
this formula does contain rosemary, i know everyone loves to criticise it, but it does work well, people just need to open their mind to new oils too
generally speaking you match polysorbate 20 about 1:1 to the oils you use, or just a bit more.
you have to mix the oils and polysorbate first...
people are using the wrong oils and wrong carriers
things to try:
German Chamomile Essential Oil - most powerful anti inflammatory, 2 or 3 drops
Patchouli Oil - strongest 5ar inhibitor, about 4 drops, per 50ml
Mix them into Polysorbate 20 - this lets them mix into water, then a liquid like...
Are you using AI
it gives very interesting results, and not a generic answer like rosemary or mint
When AI was asked what closely mimics Minoxidil from the chemical standpoint - the answer is thyme and clove
When AI was asked what essential oil scientifically most stops 5ar - the answer was...
This is from a reddit thread on haircarescience.
Amazingly, things like rosemary, menthol, ginger, cinnamon and chili don't even make the top 10 list, and rosemary may even constrict arteries and reduce bloodflow.
Out of all the essential oils, what isolated compound is the most powerful...
Actually there is another patent that uses it, so 2 patents mentioning it
Losartan is the most potent TGFB-1 inhibitor known and for this reason, scar gels use it.
It stops aldosterone, which therefore stops TGFB-1 from being created...
Patent Summary (US20160081901A1 – “Compositions and methods for hair growth”)
WO2020154304A1 (2020) explicitly claims losartan (and other ARBs like valsartan) applied directly to the scalp (as cream, oil, gel, or even injected) prevents/treats alopecia, including pattern baldness.
