December 2015 in “Jurnal Online Universitas Gadjah Mada (Universitas Gadjah Mada)” This study found that a lotion containing 1% xanthan gum had the best physical stability for candlenut extract hair-restoring lotion, with no significant change in flavonoid content after storage.
May 2026 in “Riset Informasi Kesehatan” This experimental study evaluated shampoo formulations with varying concentrations of candlenut oil, concluding that the 12% formulation (Formula 2) demonstrated optimal physical characteristics and quality standards, with acceptable pH and viscosity but reduced foam stability at higher oil concentrations.
October 2024 in “Jurnal Pharmascience” This study concluded that formulations of celery and candlenut extracts meet the necessary criteria for use as a spray preparation aimed at promoting hair growth, based on evaluations of physical properties and consistency.
