A user mixed melatonin and vitamin E into ethanol, noticing undissolved material likely due to vitamin E's poor solubility. The precipitate is not crucial as vitamin E was only added as a preservative.

A user is interested in creating a hair growth serum using oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, and anhydrous ethanol, and seeks advice on sourcing these ingredients. Another user plans to mix these with minoxidil, which already contains ethanol, and mentions using RU58841.

The conversation is about the use of emulsifiers in a propylene glycol and ethanol solvent for minoxidil formulations. Emulsifiers are typically around 1-3% of the total vehicle and help disperse the contents.

The conversation discusses the best ethanol and propylene glycol ratio for homemade topical finasteride, with a focus on absorption and drying issues. The user shares their experience using a 50% propylene glycol, 30% ethanol, and 20% water solution, and considers adjusting the ethanol content for better results.

The conversation is about making topical finasteride using ethanol. The user is advised to use non-denatured or food-grade ethanol, as denatured ethanol may be harmful with prolonged skin exposure.

A user wants to make a solution for RU58841 and finasteride powder using only glycerin and asks if ethanol is necessary. They are seeking advice on whether glycerin alone is sufficient.

Ethanol left in the sun is still usable as a vehicle for compounds like CB, as no chemical changes occur at 84°F.

A user made a 60ml bottle of topical finasteride and noticed faster evaporation due to ethanol, affecting concentration. Suggestions included adjusting the finasteride concentration and application method to minimize ethanol evaporation.

The conversation is about creating a homemade solution to dilute topical finasteride using ethanol, propylene glycol, and emulsifiers. The user seeks advice on the exact percentages needed for the solution.

Isopropyl alcohol should not replace ethanol in homemade topical finasteride serums due to potential toxicity with frequent use. Denatured ethanol, also known as parfum or cosmetic alcohol, is a safer alternative.

Teak leaf extract shows potential as a mild hair growth promoter for androgenic alopecia, with similar positive trends to minoxidil but without significant side effects. It can be made at home using dried teak leaves and ethanol, though its effectiveness compared to other treatments like finasteride is debated.

OP is looking for ethanol to make a topical finasteride solution for hair loss treatment. Users suggest using Everclear or Spirytus as alternatives for ethanol.

The conversation discusses using glycerin instead of propylene glycol as a vehicle for topical finasteride, with concerns about glycerin causing skin issues. A suggestion is made to use a mixture of 60% ethanol, 20% glycerin, and 20% water to mitigate these concerns.

The conversation is about using distilled water as a solvent for topical finasteride to reduce systemic absorption. The user is considering avoiding ethanol and propylene glycol to achieve this.

The user mixes their own RU58841 solution and found that increasing the ethanol content improved absorption and reduced scalp itching. A study on minoxidil showed that penetration increased with higher ethanol concentrations, reaching maximum penetration at 90% ethanol.

A user is considering using 70% isopropyl alcohol with glycerin as a carrier for topical finasteride for hair loss but is concerned about its safety compared to ethanol. They are unsure where to buy ethanol without toxic methanol.

A minoxidil solution with only ethanol and minoxidil may not be properly absorbed without additional ingredients like propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. It's suggested to use a reputable brand and test the product for authenticity.

Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.

The conversation is about finding ethanol in California for mixing with RU58841 for hair loss treatment. Users suggest alternatives like high-proof alcohol from liquor stores or purchasing lab-grade ethanol online.

Switching to a DIY topical finasteride solution using ethanol, glycerin, and distilled water instead of propylene glycol for a gentler application. Users report positive results with both DIY solutions and a low PG minoxidil and finasteride product from India.
