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

Yeah that is the thing I find so dubious. The reason why I wanted to add so much distilled water is because of this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/comments/9rbf7b/sandalore_a_scientific_homemade_approch/

I dissolved 1% Sandalore in a Stemoxydine vehicle, it seems to dissolve perfectly. Checked it after a few days, and didn't see any oily separation. After application there seems no real difference other than my eyes getting slightly affected for a few seconds. At 1% the sandalore smell is clearly overtakes the stemox smell.
I will test a 10% concentration purely to see how well it dissolves, won't apply it to my scalp.

Do you think the eye irritation is directly from the particles of the topical going airborne or do you think it's through the bloodstream?

Interesting, I thought 1 ml = 20 drops roughly. This could mean I currently use a 0.5% concentration.
Edit: Just checked, it is indeed 40 drops.

100% from going airborne, the same happens when I open the Sandalore bottle and hold it close to my eyes.

I get the exact same thing, I’m using stemoxydine.
It’s a very mild eye irritation.

this is directly from the Sandalore (= Sandal Pantenol , CAS 65113-99-7) patent.
it seems like that somehow, despite Sandalore not soluble in water, it's capable of tolerating 65% of water in the final solution. I don't understand.
Instead, what the reddit guy describes sounds more realistic to me.

Yes, I based my mixture on this information. The ethoxydiglycol is a solvent and a solubizer and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is used to make oil-in-water emulsions (emulsifier).

The patented info which is what my mixture is based on is not greasy at all. In Rogaine the "greasiness" comes mostly from propylene glycol which irritates my skin (in fact, it's classified as a skin irritant). The "grease" of the polyethlene glycol doesn't bother me as much as the irritation. That is why I stopped using over-the-counter minoxidil solutions.

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.
Ok I am a completely chemistry noob. Can someone explain me these proportions in simple ML terms?
Thank you.

This.
I’m just wondering where to get the ethoxydiglycol!

are there more progress pics guys?
Is the stemoxydine leaves your scalp greasy or not. Do you apply as a leave in scalp or you wash it after serveral minutes.
Secondly, no one is adding N1-methylspermidine to the mixture. The scientist are using it with sandalore to treat men with Telogene effluvium condition
Thanks
