Glossary Nanoemulsions

tiny droplets of one liquid dispersed in another, enhancing delivery

Nanoemulsions are tiny droplets of one liquid dispersed within another, typically oil in water or water in oil, with droplet sizes ranging from 20 to 200 nanometers. These emulsions are used in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, due to their ability to improve the delivery and absorption of active ingredients, enhance stability, and provide a clear or translucent appearance.

community Minoxidil Skin Delivery from Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Eucalyptol or Oleic Acid: Enhanced Diffusivity and Follicular Targeting

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil can be effectively delivered through nanoemulsions containing eucalyptol or oleic acid, enhancing its diffusivity and targeting hair follicles. This contradicts the advice against mixing minoxidil with oils in topical formulations.

community Be careful about using non-PG based alternatives of Minoxidil (mathematically speaking, haven’t seen much practical studies)

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 1 month ago

Minoxidil formulations often use propylene glycol (PG) for stability and effectiveness, but PG-free alternatives like foams and PEG-based solutions can also be effective with less irritation. Concerns exist about the quality of PG-free minoxidil from lesser-known brands, especially from India, due to potential manufacturing issues.

community How to deal with mechanically induced shedding

4 upvotes 11 months ago

Minoxidil can cause scalp dryness and flaking, leading to hair shedding when exfoliating. Alternatives like oral Minoxidil, finasteride, and ketoconazole shampoo are suggested to manage these issues.
