Recommended Ingredients for Scalp Spray

For a scalp spray targeting hair thinning, graying, and hair loss, here are some key active ingredients and their recommended maximum usage rates:

• For Hair Loss and Thinning:

  • Clover Flower Extract (Biochanin A 98%): Helps nourish hair roots, reduce hair fall, and promote growth. Recommended usage rate: up to 0.5%.
  • Melatonin Forte™: Stimulates hair growth and reduces hair loss. Recommended usage rate: up to 1%.
  • Minoxil™ (Diaminopyrimidine Oxide) or Minoxil Aqua™ (Diaminopyrimidine Oxide Water Soluble): Helps increase hair volume, reduce hair loss, and strengthen hair roots. Usage rate is effective even in small amounts.
  • Minoxol™ (Pyrrolidinyl Diaminopyrimidine Oxide) or Minoxol Aqua™ (Pyrrolidinyl Diaminopyrimidine Oxide Oxothiazolidinecarboxylate): Restores weak hair follicle cells, increases hair growth, and prevents hair loss.

• For Gray Hair:

  • GreyReverse™ (Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20): Stimulates hair pigmentation to reduce gray/white hair. Recommended usage rate for scalp spray: up to 5%.
  • MSH Black™ (Acetyl Hexapeptide-1): Stimulates melanin production in hair to reduce gray/white hair. Recommended usage rate for scalp spray: up to 5%. Note: This ingredient may cause skin darkening if it comes into contact, which is a consideration for a spray formulation.

• Complementary Ingredient:

  • Hair-Prebiotic™: Can be included at 1-5% to help soften and nourish the hair.

When formulating, consider the solubility of each ingredient and ensure compatibility within the spray base. For ingredients like Melatonin Forte™, proper packaging (e.g., airless pump) is crucial due to its sensitivity to air.
