Hair Tonic Formula with Licorice Extract for Hair Loss

Asked by: jiralexk On: April 16, 2017 Product Type: Cosmetics Answered

Question

I am developing a hair tonic formula including Ethoxydiglycol (5%) and CoolTouch (0.4%). Is this formula acceptable? Additionally, I would like to know how Licorice Extract helps with hair loss, particularly hair loss caused by an excessively oily scalp.

Answer

Based on the staff's response, your revised hair tonic formula is acceptable.

You have successfully incorporated the recommended ingredients:

  • Ethoxydiglycol (5%) for improved absorption.
  • CoolTouch (0.4%) for a cooling sensation without alcohol.

The staff also noted that Licorice Extract in the formula helps reduce hair loss only if it is caused by an excessively oily scalp, as it helps reduce DHT. If your scalp is not oily, Licorice Extract may not provide this specific benefit.
