I'm wondering if applying Sandalore twice a day is too much? Perhaps it is like Nizoral/Ketoconazole - two or three times a week is great, every day is not. Just throwing this out there as a possibility. I have seen short term improvements when raising and lowering the Sandalore percentage in...
100% ethanol would be good but hard to find locally. Everclear liquor, which I now use, is 95% ethanol. Seems fine. No toxic chemicals like with the ethyl rubbing alcohol.
By the way, for those that are using castor oil in their solution, be aware that castor oil and PEG 40 castor oil are not the same thing (though castor oil is used in both). The PEG just means polyethylene glycol (PEG) and the 40 is the amount of ethylene oxide used to make it (40 moles)
Lots of good information from Portaljar (I pasted his post right under my post below the asterisks)
My next formulation will be a 0.5 - 0.6% Sandalore solution. Thus
.5 ml Sandalore
.5 ml ethoxydiglycol (equivalent Sandalore)
Ethanol 70 ml
(shake well and let sit overnight)
dab PEG 40 castor...

Agree. I didn't like the isopropyl alcohol - too drying. Looks like you're off to a good start. If your mixture isn't dissolving sufficientyly try the ethoxydiglycol - https://lotioncrafter.com/products/ethoxydiglycol pretty cheap
The photo on the right (just above) led me to change my formulation as well as some thoughts on the nature of the Sandalore treatment.
First the changes in my formulation (going a little by memory here, will check my notebook later).
1. Frustration with progress led me to drop the 3-4 drop per...

Note: the days after hair cut were approximately the same, but in the newer photo I decided to keep the hair on top a little longer.
I think I have experienced eye irritation - feels kind of like dry eyes. At first I attributed it to the winter weather, but it may be the sandalore. Lately I have been closing my eyes when applying which has helped.
