Studysummary This study examined the effectiveness of peppermint essential oil formulated into a nanoliposome gel for enhancing hair growth, finding that this preparation increased hair growth in male Sprague Dawley rats without causing irritation, suggesting it may improve delivery of these active ingredients. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study successfully formulated peppermint essential oil into nanoliposomes using Phospolipon® 80H and Phytosolve® lipoids, achieving a particle size of 96.7 nm. Tests on Sprague Dawley male white rats indicated that the peppermint nanoliposome gel significantly enhanced hair growth compared to other formulations, without causing skin irritation. The research concludes that peppermint essential oil in a nanoliposome gel serum is effective for promoting hair growth.
