Sandalore - Chemical Used In Perfumes To Mimic Sandalwood Triggers Growth?

[floschen]

I received my order today but i wasn't really able to dissolve it.
I couldn't dissolve it in either Pantostin or vodka.
I could perfectly dissolve it in DMSO, but as soon as I added water to it, an oily film occurred on top of it again.
So it seems like Sandalore is not only insoluble in water but even hydrophobic

I will mix it with castor and coconut oil instead and leave it in for 4 hours daily (2ml, 1% concentration)

Btw, I'm not really able to smell it as well, I perceive only a very weak scent

Where did you order it from?

I had no problems dissolving sandalore first in 96% alcohol, then dmso and then water. Try shaking your solution to emulsify it prior to application. See if that works.

Wait 2 seconds...
The study published in nature uses a dilution of 500 micro molar. If my chemistry is not completely forgotten this means 0.1209 ml (or 105.2mg) sandalore must be diluted in 1 liter of solvent?

Is not 1% too much? Someone with chemistry knowledge can check the math?

from the netherlands

http://shop.hexapus.nl/p-1a/23168-4.html?_globalsearch=sandalore (<- same distributor, page in English)

hmm weird I did shake it quite well :/
Did you order it from pellwall?

yes they used a concentration of roughly 0.01% but afaik they left the skin completely soaked in this solution for 6 days, so I thought when applying just 1ml daily or twice daily on the scalp I might need a stronger concentration

But yeah I also thought that maybe it did dissolve, but it was saturated at a lower concentration already and only the rest formed this oily film on top, but it still seems quite weird since Belen had no problem making a 4% concentration

Hi. I’m new to this. My sandalore order arrived yesterday so I’ve just started applying it. I’ve used 1ml of sandalore, 1ml of alcohol 96%, 1ml of DMSO (70% DMSO- 30% aloe vera) and 22ml of water. The concentration of sandalore in this lotion is 4%. Obviously it’s still very early days, but I’ll update you as I go along. Has anyone else started using sandalore? What’s your recipe?

aloe vera is bad for hair regrowth!

Hello could you give exact instructions on how to do this?

I mixed 0.5ml Sandalore with 25ml of castor oil and 25ml of fractionated coconut oil. It worked pretty well

All the research I’ve done on AV points to the contrary, but if you have any new data on it I’d like to see it.

What about the other ingriedient that was used?

"...topical daily application of a lotion containing N1-methylspermidine and Sandalore®."

Sandalore alone may not be effective.

I see no mention of that anywhere in the study.

It's in the third post down on the first page of the the thread.

Ok sure it would be nice to use this N1 compound in combination but where would you even get it? In the nature article they used only Sandalore to prove that it is a growth stimulant.

Anyone else seeing flaking or peeling in the areas they are applying Sandalore?

What % are you using ? This should be very low concentration (<1 % at least )

 

[Bulbul]

If you wanted to dilute 50ml of Sandalore (from Pellwell) how much Ethanol would you require? And where would you buy the ethanol from?

Hi!
I found a patent with the lotion wich was tested in spain

Component (INCI name) quantity (w/w %)
Alcohol denat 15-35
PEG-40 Hydrogenated castor oil 0.5-3
Sandal pentanol 0.1 - 1 0.0
Ethoxydiglycol 0.25-1 .0
Aqua q.s. to 100 g

you can find it on page 8 of pdf
it could be 15 ml alcohol, 0.5ml castor oil, 0.1ml sandalore 0.25 ethoxydiglycol and the rest until 100ml of water?
i don't understand the formula, can anyone translate into ml of each component for 100ml formula?
i attach the patent in pdf!

 

[Trichosan]

They patented a hairloss formula and are not marketing it? Strange.

I just bought 80ml of the stuff and will be trying it out for a few months. Do we need to mix with propylene glycol or just alcohol?
