Alternatives to Minoxidil for Hair Growth Spray
Question
I would like to make a Minoxidil spray. Do you sell Minoxidil?
Answer
Hello. Regarding Minoxidil itself, it is a medication and the company does not sell it. However, the company offers ingredients used in hair and scalp care products to help reduce hair loss and promote hair growth, which work similarly, such as:
- Minoxil™ (Diaminopyrimidine Oxide), also known as Aminexil, helps increase hair volume in the growth phase by restoring hair roots and reducing the hardening of collagen around the hair follicle.
- Minoxil Aqua™ (Diaminopyrimidine Oxide Water Soluble) is a directly water-soluble type with properties similar to Minoxil™.
- Minoxol™ (Pyrrolidinyl Diaminopyrimidine Oxide), or Kopyrrol, helps restore weak hair follicle cells, increases hair growth, and prevents hair loss.
- Minoxol Aqua™ (Pyrrolidinyl Diaminopyrimidine Oxide Oxothiazolidinecarboxylate) is a directly water-soluble type with properties similar to Minoxol™.
These ingredients can be used in developing spray formulations or other hair care products.

This section was added after reviewing the original answer against current product availability and formulation knowledge at the stated point in time.
Update 2026-05-24: Minoxidil itself should be treated as a medicinal/drug active for hair-regrowth treatment, not as a normal cosmetic raw material; MySkinRecipes does not sell minoxidil. If the intended product is a true minoxidil spray, it should be developed and labeled under the applicable drug/medical regulatory route for the target market.
For a cosmetic scalp-care spray, the listed MySkinRecipes ingredients remain cosmetic hair/scalp-care options, but they should not be described as minoxidil, medicines, or guaranteed substitutes for minoxidil. For water-based sprays, Minoxil Aqua™ and Minoxol Aqua™ are the easier starting points because they are listed as directly water-soluble. For ethanol/glycol or hydroalcoholic sprays, Minoxil™ and Minoxol™ may be considered according to their solubility information. Keep claims cosmetic, such as supporting scalp condition, helping reduce hair fall due to weak hair roots, or supporting stronger/thicker-looking hair. The listed products are specified for about pH 3.5–6.5; before use or launch, verify solubility/clarity, precipitation during stability testing, preservative effectiveness, scalp compatibility, and packaging compatibility.
