Answer
Simple Anti-Dandruff Tonic Formula
For a simple anti-dandruff tonic formula, you can combine an anti-dandruff active ingredient with a hair nourishing ingredient in a water base, as follows:
Ingredients:
- Water: Approximately 98%
- Zinc Pyrithione Liquid (Dandruff, Sebderm): 1% (to yield 0.5% Active Zinc Pyrithione)
- D-Panthenol Care (Pro-Vitamin B5): 0.5%
- Preservative: As recommended by the manufacturer (adjust water percentage accordingly)
Instructions:
- Add D-Panthenol Care to water and stir until dissolved.
- Add the preservative and mix well.
- Add Zinc Pyrithione Liquid and blend at high speed to ensure even dispersion throughout the formula, as Zinc Pyrithione is insoluble in water and oil.
- Check and adjust the pH of the formula to an appropriate range (generally suitable for scalp and hair).
- If Zinc Pyrithione settles over time, consider adding a small amount of thickener to help suspend the ingredient.
Precautions:
- Avoid using Zinc Pyrithione with Disodium EDTA, non-ionic surfactants, and oxidants.
- Perform a patch test before regular use.
This formula is a basic one focusing on dandruff removal and slight hair nourishment as suggested.
