Hi,

According to the manufacturer the supposed thicker, healthier hair you’re talking about is achieved by “follicle stimulation & DHT inhibition”. It makes sense why the same manufacturer says that is “effective in serums, tonics, scalp treatments”, so I would not use it (=waste it) in a shampoo, as there is not enough contact time with the scalp to bring any benefits. You could make yourself a simple scalp-serum and see if any notable benefits occur. Pay attention to the pH: it shouldn’t be under 5.5 or over 7. Of course you could use it in skincare as well. You have on this page some sample formulae to help you start https://www.bulknaturalswholesale.com/blogs/ingredient-highlights/ahk-cu-copper-tripeptide-3-the-next-generation-peptide-for-hair-skin-care?srsltid=AfmBOoqBQeFW5w_xbmjCwUkQubbfJjrjAYBzhxlTnvglwCTpJjfUP8-3

Hi,

A few things that might help: 1. Phenoxyethanol is NOT “rose alcohol”; it does have a very faint rose scent, but my guess is one should use A LOT to make that scent come through. 2. “rose alcohol” is NOT an INCI name, is just some people who call themselves formulators use to keep the real name out of public’s eye (aka lie them). 3. Phenethyl Alcohol is the one with the strong rose scent, and efficient against various fungi and molds (therefore useful in a shampoo bar exposed to water), and found often paired with Caprylyl Glycol- to boost its activity; it is also used in fragrances or as a fragrance in cosmetic products, but should appear on the INCI list as “phenethyl alcohol”. 4. Benzyl benzoate does not have a rose-like smell, but an almond-like smell. 5. Everything under 1% can be listed in any order, but keep in mind that ingredients used at the same % can also be listed in the any order (i.e: if you have 2% of A, 2% of B, 2% of C, you can list them in any order you want).
