Studysummary This study analyzed the formulation and stability of pomade containing peppermint oil and minoxidil, determining that a particular formulation with 1% paraffin yielded optimal physical and stability characteristics for promoting hair growth, making it the best choice among the tested options. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study investigates the formulation and stability of a pomade combining peppermint oil and minoxidil for hair growth, using a quasi-experimental method with three formulations varying in paraffin solidum concentration (0%, 1%, 2%). Physical evaluations, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesiveness, and stability through a 6-cycle, 12-day cycling test, showed all formulations met good standards. Formulation II was deemed the best due to its balanced physical and stability parameters and suitable texture for easy application.
