    TLDR The Caffein Herbasome® cream is stable and suitable for skin use.
    The study focuses on formulating and evaluating the physical stability of Caffein Herbasome® cream, which can treat cellulitis, reduce hair loss, and protect the skin. Three cream formulas with 1% Caffein Herbasome® were tested for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, dispersal, adhesion, and viscosity. All formulas showed stable organoleptic properties, homogeneity, and a pH range of 5.57-6.69. Dispersal diameters varied, with formula 1 at 6 cm, formula 2 at 5.7 cm, and formula 3 at 5 cm. Higher stearic acid concentration increased viscosity, reduced spread area, and prolonged adhesion time. The creams met adhesion test requirements and are suitable for skin application.

      community abusing caffeine boosts DHT levels!

      in Research/Science  1 upvotes 5 months ago
      Caffeine intake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
