Hair Tonic with Active Compounds for Hair Growth from Various Herbal Ingredients

The document reviews the formulation of a hair tonic with active herbal ingredients containing flavonoids, specifically highlighting the effectiveness of candlenut oil (Aleurites moluccana L.) for hair growth. The study, which is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), found that the best herbal hair tonic formulation included candlenut oil, which resulted in hair growth of up to 29.77 mm over 22 days. Additionally, the formulation passed pharmaceutic evaluations including organoleptic, pH, and viscosity tests, meeting the quality standards of SNI 16-4955-1998. This suggests that the hair tonic with candlenut oil is a viable alternative to synthetic hair tonics, offering a practical application, easy absorption, no irritation, and the added benefits of flavonoids' antioxidant properties that improve blood circulation and promote hair growth.
