June 2026 in “Journal of Materials Science Materials in Medicine” This study investigated the effects of nanoemulsions containing 1%, 2%, and 5% minoxidil on hair growth in animals, comparing them to commercial minoxidil solutions. The nanoemulsions had particle sizes of 11–12 nm and showed no significant differences in ex vivo permeation compared to commercial formulations. Importantly, the nanoemulsions did not cause skin irritation, and plasma concentrations of minoxidil were below the quantifiable range. The 5% minoxidil nanoemulsion demonstrated enhanced hair growth and increased follicle count in vivo compared to commercial formulations, suggesting improved efficacy without increased permeation.
