Hair Serum Formulation (Water-Based Spray) for Growth and Loss
Question
I want to formulate a water-based hair serum for reducing hair loss, promoting hair growth, and lengthening hair. I need a formula with a water-like texture suitable for a spray bottle. The ingredients I plan to use are:
- Long-Lash™ (10%)
- Zinc PCA (0.3%)
- Pure Keratin™ (100% Keratin) (2.0%)
- Melatonin Forte™ (1%)
Can these ingredients be combined in a water-based formula? Do I need any other ingredients to make it a clear, sprayable serum?
Answer
Subject: Hair Serum for Growth and Loss - Water-Based Spray
Thank you for your question about formulating a hair serum for reducing hair loss, promoting growth, and lengthening hair, with a water-like texture suitable for spraying.
Based on the ingredients you listed and the clarification provided by the staff, Melatonin Forte™ is water-soluble. This means all the active ingredients you wish to use are water-soluble:
- Long-Lash™
- Zinc PCA
- Pure Keratin™ (100% Keratin)
- Melatonin Forte™
Since all your active ingredients dissolve in water, you do not need an oil phase or an ingredient to combine oil and water (like FloraSolve Clear). You can create a simple, clear water-based serum.
Here is a proposed formula based on your desired percentages:
Water-Based Hair Serum Formula
- Long-Lash™: 10%
- Zinc PCA: 0.3%
- Pure Keratin™ (100% Keratin): 2.0%
- Melatonin Forte™: 1%
- Distilled Water: 86.7% (to make up 100%)
Mixing Procedure:
- Weigh out the required amount of Distilled Water.
- Add Long-Lash™, Zinc PCA, Pure Keratin™, and Melatonin Forte™ to the water.
- Stir or mix until all ingredients are completely dissolved and the solution is clear.
- The serum is ready to be filled into a spray bottle.
This formulation provides the desired active ingredients in a water-based, sprayable texture.
