Combination of Candlenut Oil Nanoemulsion and Celery Leaf Powder on Alopecia Disease Model

The study investigated the effects of a combination of candlenut oil and celery powder on hair growth in male New Zealand White rabbits, a model for alopecia. The results showed that the combination had a pH value of 6.30 and formed an oil-in-water emulsion. After 28 days of testing, the average weight and thickness of hair were 0.2458 and 1.15 cm respectively, which were better than the average positive control product X with an average weight and thickness of 0.2076 and 1 cm. Compared to the negative control, the results of weight and hair thickness were 0.0305 and 0.5 cm. The study concluded that the combination of candlenut oil and celery powder had good hair growth activity and could be used as a treatment therapy for alopecia patients.
