Serum/Tonic Formula for Oily Scalp and Hair Loss

Based on your issue with oily scalp and significant hair loss, and the recommended ingredients from the staff, here is a suggested formula for a leave-on serum or tonic to help reduce scalp oiliness, which can contribute to hair loss.

These ingredients work by helping to control sebum production on the scalp:

• Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): Helps reduce oiliness (sebum excretion) and strengthens the skin barrier.
• L-Carnitine: Effective in reducing oil production from pores (sebum production) and gently accelerating skin cell turnover.
• Zinc PCA: Helps reduce oiliness on the skin and scalp, can help eliminate dandruff, and is effective in reducing hair loss caused by oily scalp.
• Pure-EGCG (Green Tea Extract): Found to be effective in reducing skin oiliness.

Here is a sample formula:

• Distilled Water: 88.5%
• Safe-B3: 5%
• L-Carnitine: 3%
• Zinc PCA: 1%
• Pure-EGCG: 1.5%
• Preservative (choose a suitable cosmetic preservative): 1%

Instructions for Making the Serum/Tonic:

1. Accurately weigh or measure all ingredients.
2. In a clean container, add the Distilled Water.
3. Add Safe-B3, L-Carnitine, and Zinc PCA to the water and stir until fully dissolved. These are water-soluble.
4. Add Pure-EGCG to the mixture. Stir gently to disperse it well, as it has low water solubility. Avoid heating the mixture.
5. Add your chosen cosmetic preservative according to its recommended usage rate and instructions. Stir to combine.
6. Check the pH of the mixture. The optimal pH range for these ingredients is typically between 4 and 6. If necessary, adjust the pH using a small amount of Citric Acid or Lactic Acid solution to lower it, or a weak base solution (like Sodium Bicarbonate solution) to raise it.
7. Transfer the finished serum/tonic into a clean bottle, preferably opaque to protect light-sensitive ingredients like Pure-EGCG.
8. Store the product at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat. Refrigeration is recommended for better longevity, especially due to Pure-EGCG.

Apply a few drops or a small amount to the scalp after washing and towel-drying your hair. Massage gently. Do not rinse off. Use regularly for best results in controlling scalp oiliness and reducing hair loss.
