Formulation view A dual water-ethanol solvent system centered on diaminopyrimidine oxide and arginine, supported by niacinamide and safflower glucoside. A menthol derivative provides immediate cooling sensation, while PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil aids solubility. Formulator note: The formula focuses on scalp conditioning and nutrient delivery. The alcohol-based base ensures rapid evaporation and a cooling experience, making it suitable for those preferring a fresh scalp treatment, though dry scalps should use caution.
