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

[CuredMouse]

Thanks, I take an empty bottle of minoxidil and do a half and half mixture of 93% rubbing alcohol and propylene glycol and add in 5 drops of Sandalore.

What's happening guys, just wanted to post some progress pics. I've been using Sandalore for a little over 3 months now. Maybe not as much progress from the 2nd to 3rd month as I've tapered a little off minoxidil to every other day. Hoping to see the full results at the 6 month mark, will post more pics until then if I see a pretty significant increase. Most recent pic is the one ending in 228

Isopropyl or ethanol alcohol? Also where I live standard concentration of rubbing alcohol is 91% this shouldn't be a problem right?

Isopropyl, I don't know where to find straight up ethanol if not from a chemical supplier. 91% should be fine, the goal is to limit the amount of water as Sandalore is insoluble in water.

That makes sense. Therefore I should shoot for 100% if available? Also where are you getting your sandalore from? Is there a specific formulation I should be looking for? How will I know if what im buying is the right stuff?

Would 70% isopropyl be okay?

Would be interesting to see how many are using ethanol vs isopropyl.
Why are some people here using like 4/5 ingredients? Is there any benefit to that rather than just the 1 (ethanol or isopropyl)?

I’m assuming you’re aussie. There’s a place I found called aromatic ingredients, they sell
It here (Australia) but you have to buy it in bulk. If you give me your address I can send you 100ml, I have too much.

Yeh I’m Aussie Georgie and I did stumble across that page and thought those amounts were huge! That would be amazing thank you so much! Send me through a private message and I’ll give you my address

Ethyl alcohol or ethanol is more safer alcohol for health in applications such as lotions, creams, etc. isopropyl is not recomended for this

same is 1 ingredient that 20...
you can make your formula only with alcohol if your skin resists it

all togeher seek the best disolution, penetration and persistence but that does not harm your skin drying up or leaving your hair greasy.

More alcohol evaporates too fast and dries your skin, more water will not dissolve sandalore, pg is solvent and moisturizer but there are allergic people. Dmso is a powerful solvent with penetration into skin...
Sandalore aprox 0.5ml (mixed in 100ml of other things) and all focused on disolution, penetration and persistence

Thank you, much appreciated. Can I ask why ethanol is recommended over isopropyl? And where can I buy some 90% ethanol?

Are these ingredients easy to buy? What is DMSO? Thanks again.

I got mine from perfumers apprentice. I don't think there exists a pure 100% alcohol solution as this is extremely difficult to make and it would absorb some moisture from the air.

Propylene glycol is used to slow down the drying of alcohol, otherwise it would just dry in a matter of seconds. This is why minoxodil has pg as well.

Awesome. And one more question if you don't mind, about how much do you use per day?

please read again... Ethyl alcohol or ethanol is more safer alcohol for health in applications such as lotions, creams, etc. isopropyl is not recomended for this.

nobody has confirmed that the dmso improves the lotion. There is no magic formula yet. Please, use Internet search. Dmso (always pharmaceutical grade) is an organic solvent, preservative, anti-inflammatory with penetration power. Use carefully and very low concentration

Thanks, so should I use Ethanol or isopropyl to mix with sandalore? I’m confused

isopropyl could be absorbed through the skin and cause intoxication symptoms
ethanol is the preferred vehicle of the two

Thank you, appreciate it. Do you know what kind of ethanol exactly I should be looking for? And where I can buy it?

 

[thejuiceman]

Quite a bit, like 2ml. I've got some thinning over my crown which is try to cover also.

Lol I use like 4-5ml.

 

[thejuiceman]

Lol I use like 4-5ml.

Might as well ha, considering how cheap the stuff is.

Guys,

Is this a good lotion to mix with the sandalore ? Its says ethanol at 70 %

 

[NotInmywatch]

Guys,

Is this a good lotion to mix with the sandalore ? Its says ethanol at 70 %

what % are you going to use?
in that solution, 30% is water and other denaturating agents.
it should not be enough to ruin sandalore solubility
if you want to be very sure, just add the drops shake and wait 24h in a transparent container
if you see droplets of sandalore isolated, floating around or near the surface, 70º is not good and 96º should be used instead.
