Conceptual Hair Tonic Formulation (Alcohol-Free)

Based on your interest in creating an alcohol-free hair tonic with Thai herbal ingredients to nourish the scalp, strengthen hair, reduce hair loss, and promote new hair growth with a cooling sensation, we can propose a conceptual formulation incorporating some of the key ingredients you mentioned.

This formulation concept focuses on a water-based tonic suitable for leave-on application.

Key Ingredients and Benefits:

  • Artocarpus Lakoocha Wood Extract (Oxyresveratrol 98%): This extract is known for its potential in hair darkening and also offers antioxidant properties. It can contribute to a healthy scalp environment.
  • Aloe Vera Extract (extraction ratio 10:1 FullAssay™): Provides excellent conditioning and moisturizing benefits for both the scalp and hair. It helps soothe the scalp and reduce irritation.
  • Energy-Blend™ (Caffeine+Adenosine+Vitamin B3): This powerful blend is designed to stimulate hair growth and improve blood circulation in the scalp, which is crucial for nourishing hair follicles and reducing hair loss.
  • CoCool™ (Menthol+Menthyl Lactate): Included to provide the desired cooling and refreshing sensation on the scalp upon application.

Formulation Considerations:

  • This formula is designed to be alcohol-free, using water and glycols as the primary solvents.
  • The pH of the final product will need to be carefully adjusted to ensure the stability and efficacy of all active ingredients, likely in the range of pH 5-6.
  • Appropriate preservatives will be included to ensure product safety and shelf life.
  • While we searched for Vernonia cinerea (หญ้าดอกขาว) and Butterfly pea (อัญชัน) extracts, specific products for these were not found in our initial search results. The proposed formula provides a strong base, and further exploration for these or other beneficial extracts can be done during the detailed formulation phase.

This conceptual formula provides a foundation based on your requirements and available ingredients. To proceed with production, we would need to develop a detailed formulation, including specific percentages, manufacturing process, and stability testing.

We recommend discussing this concept further with our formulation experts to refine the ingredients and create a final product that meets all your specifications.
