Hair and Scalp Serum
Hello.
A few weeks ago, I asked my chemist friend to formulate a hair and scalp serum for me which could potentially stimulate hair growth, discourage hair loss and be generally good for the hair.
He came up with this:
Water QS
Glycerin 4%
Capixyl 3%
Lactic acid 3%
AnaGain 2%
Procapil 2%
DL Panthenol 2%
Propylene Glycol 2%
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil 1.2%
Keravis PE-LQ 1%
Ginseng Extract 1%
Phenoxyethanol 0.6%
Pumpkin Seed Oil 0.5%
Ceramide NP 0.5%
Red Algae Extract 0.5%
Sodium Benzoate 0.4%
Sodium Hyaluronate 0.3%
Vitamin E 0.2%
Disodium EDTA 0.2%
Allantoin 0.2%
A sample was made from it.
The thing is, it smells pretty bad, like sour or “medicinal” (if that’s understandable).
Questions:
- How can the sample be improve in terms of scent/fragrance? (to at least mask the bad smell without potentially irritant the scalp)
- How can the formulation be improved?
Regards

easiest thing to do it’s to add a rosemary or lavender hydrosol or you have already oils so you could add essential oils as well with the solubiliser you are using.
