    TLDR Broccoli extract hair tonic effectively promotes hair growth and is safe to use.
    The study investigated the effects of broccoli stalk extract in hair tonic formulations on hair growth, using concentrations of 30%, 35%, and 40%. The hair tonic was tested for physical stability, pH, homogeneity, and irritation, and was found to be stable across a temperature range of 4 °C to 40 °C. In tests on male white rats, the 40% broccoli extract formulation showed superior hair growth activity compared to the lower concentrations. The tonic was also confirmed to be safe for use, passing the skin irritation test. The study concludes that broccoli extract hair tonic is a promising new formulation for promoting hair growth.
