research Skin permeation of curcumin nanocrystals: Effect of particle size, delivery vehicles, and permeation enhancer
Smaller curcumin nanocrystals penetrate skin better, but additives and particle size affect absorption and accumulation.
research The Effect of Various Vehicles on the In Vitro Skin Permeability of Minoxidil
Different substances can affect how well the skin absorbs minoxidil, a hair loss drug. Caprylic acid helps the skin absorb it the best, followed by propylene glycol and water.
research Relative uptake of minoxidil into appendages and stratum corneum and permeation through human skin in vitro
Minoxidil promotes hair growth by penetrating skin, with ethanol-containing formulas working best.
research Percutaneous Drug Delivery to the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles could be used for targeted drug delivery, with liposomal systems showing promise for this method.
research A comprehensive review on invasomal carriers incorporating natural terpenes for augmented transdermal delivery
Invasomes with natural terpenes can improve drug delivery through the skin.

5 / 506 resultscommunity The best vehicle/carrier for RU58841
The conversation is about the best vehicle for RU58841, comparing trichosol and Garnier/Vichy Stemoxydine, avoiding propylene glycol (PG) or ethanol due to previous scalp damage. The user is also seeking sources for these products in the EU.
community Enlighten me about the role of ethanol and PG in topical solutions, where the ideal ratio of the two is, and why?
The conversation discusses the use of ethanol and propylene glycol (PG) in topical solutions for hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil. The user dislikes the texture of PG and questions the ideal ratio and necessity of PG in these solutions.
community RU and cetosomal minoxidil topical
Mixing RU58841 with cetosomal minoxidil is discussed due to scalp irritation from ethanol PG vehicles. A mixture of the two turned bright pink when left to dry.
community Are we underestimating systemic absorption with homemade/generic Topical Fin? (HPCH vs. PG/Ethanol formulations)
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.
community RU58841 vehicle penetration (Study for minoxidil)
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.
