May 2026 in “Revista Ensaios Pioneiros” This study explores a topical solution combining 5% minoxidil sulfate and 1% rosemary essential oil for treating androgenetic alopecia (AAG), a leading cause of hair loss. Minoxidil is known for promoting hair growth by enhancing peripheral vasodilation and extending the anagen phase, while rosemary oil offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits for scalp health. Two formulations with different vehicle compositions were developed, both showing suitable physicochemical properties and homogeneity, indicating potential as a compounded treatment for AAG. The vehicle type did not affect the outcome. Further accelerated stability studies and clinical trials are recommended to confirm the therapeutic efficacy and safety of this combination.
