Adding Biotin in Hair products
Posted by BekaS on August 13, 2019 at 3:34 pmHow would I do this? I’m trying to add biotin into a hair mask and hair mist but I can’t find any liquid biotin meant for that. Do people who use biotin in products like that just use the powder?

Smart people EAT it

In cosmetics, biotin does nothing but boost the label. Since it is water soluble, using it in powdered form does fine. -

They did nothing, so I don’t believe it will do anything noticeable in a cosmetic. -
While it doesn’t do anything, if you want to incorporate it in the formula just mix it into the water phase until it dissolves.

It is a marketing agreement with little to no effect on the hair. In addition, I think you will see that adding it will raise the cost per ounce of your product to a noticeable extent. It can be expensive.
