Anti-Itch Scalp Spray Formula
Hey guys, hope all is well.
I am working on a basic formula for a dry, itchy scalp spray. This is my first go at it. Haven’t done a test batch yet but i would love to know what you guys think? Is the sodium phytae/chelating agent necessary here? Is there anything you would add to improve it?
A 72.30 Water
A 10.00 Lavender hydrosol
A 10.00 Witch hazel hydrosol
A 0.05 Sodium phytate (Dermofeel PA-3)
A 3.00 Glycerin
B 3.00 Polysorbate 20
B 0.10 Almond oil
B 0.50 Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) leaf essential oil
B 0.05 Tocopherol - d-alpha 50%
B 1.00 Phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol (Optiphen)

Yes it is. I would use it at 0.5%. i would also add 0.4% allantoin and remove everything else other than preservative.
You should also first see what is causing th itch.
