20 / 1000+ resultsresearch Relative Influence of Ethanol and Propylene Glycol Cosolvents on Deposition of Minoxidil into the Skin
This study found that increasing the proportion of ethanol in minoxidil formulations improved skin penetration in both in vitro and in vivo tests on mice.
research Penetration of Minoxidil from Ethanol/Propylene Glycol Solutions: Effect of Application Volume and Occlusion
This study found that minoxidil penetration through the skin increased with higher ethanol content and occlusion, with the highest penetration observed at 90% ethanol.
research Experimental and Computational Approaches for Measuring Minoxidil Solubility in Propylene Glycol and Water Mixtures at Different Temperatures
This study assessed minoxidil solubility in propylene glycol and water mixtures, comparing cosolvency models and examining thermodynamic properties, without reporting new clinical results.
research Skin Deposition and Permeation of Finasteride In Vitro: Effects of Propylene Glycol, Ethanol, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
In this study, the researchers reported that while both propylene glycol and sodium lauryl sulfate enhanced finasteride's skin deposition, ethanol was the only effective enhancer of finasteride's permeation through the skin.
research Enhancing the Physical Characteristics and Shelf Life of Rice Water (Oryza Sativa L.) Gel Shampoo: The Role of Propylene Glycol Concentration
This study found that varying the concentration of propylene glycol in rice water shampoo gel affects physical properties such as viscosity and foam height, without impacting organoleptic qualities or pH stability.
research Clinical Efficacy, Cosmetic Acceptability, and Local Tolerability of a New Formulation of Topical 5% Minoxidil Without Propylene Glycol: A 6-Month, Multicentre, Real-Life, Prospective, Assessor-Blinded Study in 196 Subjects with Hair Loss. The NOMINAL Trial
This study found that a new propylene glycol-free 5% minoxidil lotion demonstrated good clinical efficacy and very good cosmetic acceptability and tolerability after six months of use in patients with androgenetic alopecia, showing results comparable to traditional formulations containing propylene glycol.
research The Efficacy and Safety of Diphenylcyclopropenone Solutions in Propylene Glycol and Isopropanol: A Comparative Study of Two Formulas Used for the Treatment of 100 Patients with Alopecia Areata
This study reports that while DCP had similar treatment efficacy in propylene glycol and isopropanol for alopecia areata, the formulation in isopropanol was better tolerated.
research Efficacy and Tolerance of 2,3-Diphenylcyclopropenone in Propylene Glycol Versus Isopropanol for Treating Alopecia Areata
This study found that both new and old formulas of DCP for treating alopecia areata resulted in similar hair regrowth, but tolerance was significantly better with DCP in isopropanol.
research Efficacy, Tolerability, and Superiority of Propylene Glycol-Free, North American Witch-Hazel-Based Solution of 5% Minoxidil Sulfate for the Treatment of Female Androgenetic Alopecia
In this study, 70% of female androgenetic alopecia patients who did not respond to standard minoxidil experienced clinical improvement after switching to a propylene glycol-free, witch hazel-based 5% minoxidil sulfate solution, with the treatment also being well-tolerated.
research The Nominal Trial: Clinical Efficacy, Cosmetic Acceptability, and Local Tolerability of Topical 5% Minoxidil Lotion Without Propylene Glycol: A 6-Month, Multicentre, Real-Life, Prospective, Assessor-Blinded Study in 196 Subjects With Hair Loss
In this study, researchers examined a new propylene glycol-free 5% minoxidil lotion for 6 months among individuals with androgenic alopecia and found it demonstrated good clinical efficacy, with 74% showing a positive response, and very high cosmetic acceptability and tolerability, comparable to traditional formulations.
research New Ethanol and Propylene Glycol Free Gel Formulations Containing a Minoxidil-Methyl-Beta-Cyclodextrin Complex as Promising Tools for Alopecia Treatment
This study evaluated new aqueous gel formulations of minoxidil without irritants and found that the calcium alginate gel showed the best performance in terms of drug release and skin permeation.
research Comparison of Topical Minoxidil 5% in Ethanol Plus Propylene Glycol Versus Minoxidil 5% in Ethanol Alone in Treatment of Women With Female Pattern Hair Loss
research Formulation And Stability Testing Of Hair Tonic With Moringa Leaf Extract And Honey With Propylene Glycol Variations
In this study, hair tonic formulations containing moringa leaf extract and honey were tested for stability and found to remain stable and non-irritating after storage, meeting specific quality standards.
research Use of Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) in Optimizing HPMC and Propylene Glycol Gel Formula of Cinchonine as Antibacterial Against Cutibacterium Acnes (C. Acne)
The optimized Cinchonine gel effectively fights acne bacteria and is safe for twice-daily use.
research Optimization of Propylene Glycol and Sorbitol Composition as Humectant in Anti-Hair Loss Cream Formula with Saw Palmetto Extract (Serenoa Repens): Application of Factorial Design
The best mix of propylene glycol and sorbitol was found for a cream to prevent hair loss using saw palmetto extract.
research Optimization of Anti-Hair Loss Cream Formula with Saw Palmetto Extract (Serenoa Repens) Using Propylene Glycol and Glycerol as Humectants: Application with Factorial
In this study, the researchers found that glycerol strongly influenced the physical characteristics of an anti hair loss cream containing Saw Palmetto extract, notably improving its spreadability, viscosity, and stability without causing skin irritation.
research Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Topical Minoxidil Solution: Etiology and Treatment
Minoxidil can cause skin allergy; use alternative solvents or treatments if allergic.
research Topical Cyclosporine in Alopecia Areata
This case report describes the topical application of cyclosporine in a man with alopecia universalis, which showed hair regrowth after 10 months of daily use, except where limited by a congenital nevus.
research Targeted Gene Delivery to Skin Cells In Vivo: A Comparative Study of Liposomes and Polymers as Delivery Vehicles
This study found that nonionic liposomes were the most effective vehicle for delivering reporter genes into the skin of rat pups, compared to other liposome and nonliposome formulations.
research Relative Uptake of Minoxidil Into Appendages and Stratum Corneum and Permeation Through Human Skin In Vitro
This study found that ethanol-containing formulations significantly increased minoxidil retention in the stratum corneum and appendages initially, while a propylene glycol-rich formulation enhanced deeper skin penetration over time.
