    TLDR A medicinal cosmetic product for treating Androgenetic Alopecia was developed using plant-based substances, Saw palmetto and Japanese Sophora, with pumpkin seed oil and stabilizers like Carbopol, sodium alginate, xanthan gum, Tween-20 and cetyl alcohol.
    The 2014 study by I. O. Yarema and M. I. Feodorovska focused on the development of a medicinal cosmetic product for the treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia (AA). The researchers paid particular attention to plant-based substances like phytosterols and flavonoids, which inhibit the enzyme responsible for AA and improve skin circulation respectively. The study aimed to develop an emulsion containing a dry extract of Saw palmetto (rich in phytosterols) and the tincture of Japanese Sophora (source of flavonoids). The researchers considered 16 formulations of the emulsion bases with pumpkin seed oil as the oil phase. Emulsifiers and gelation agents were used as stabilisers. The study found that bases containing gelation agents like Carbopol, sodium alginate, and xanthan gum, and emulsifiers like Tween-20 and cetyl alcohol had optimal properties.

      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
