The study investigated the effects of a gel containing apigenin and celery juice on hair growth and skin irritation in male Sprague-Dawley mice. The irritation test, conducted using the Kamkaen and Rao method, showed that all gel formulations were not likely to cause skin irritation (p>0.05). The hair growth activity, assessed using the Hattori-Ogawa and Suzuki-Hamada methods, indicated that the gel with apigenin and celery juice was more effective in promoting hair growth compared to other formulations.
