TLDR A pomade with peppermint oil and minoxidil can effectively promote hair growth, with the best formulation having a balanced texture and stability.
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.
