Compatibility of Encapsulated Salicylic Acid and Slim-Coffee in Hair Mask

Based on the conversation, your revised formula for a 30-minute hair mask/treatment seems generally acceptable regarding the ingredients chosen for nourishing hair and addressing dandruff/scalp health (Piroctone Olamine).

Regarding the Encapsulated Salicylic Acid, you mentioned its purpose is to clear clogged hair follicles. The staff noted that while Salicylic Acid is primarily known for its anti-dandruff properties, there is no official, independent research confirming its effect on promoting hair growth by clearing follicles.

The main point raised by the staff regarding your specific formula is a potential compatibility issue between Encapsulated Salicylic Acid and Slim-Coffee (Caffeine). There is a concern that these two ingredients might cause precipitation when mixed.

Therefore, the staff recommends testing a small quantity of your formula first to check for compatibility and ensure no precipitation occurs before making a larger batch. The other ingredients in your revised formula are considered fine for a rinse-off treatment like a hair mask.
