Description
Minoxidil Product Overview
Minoxidil (C9H15N5O) is a white or off-white crystalline powder that is slightly soluble in water, whereas it dissolves in propylene glycol and ethanol. For this reason, topical solutions usually use a mixture of ethanol, propylene glycol and water.
In addition, pharmaceutical and authorized personal care producers use minoxidil raw material in 2% and 5% topical solutions and foams for hair loss, which are sold over the counter in many countries. Similarly, pharmaceutical companies use it in tablets for severe hypertension. Producers buying minoxidil raw powder should confirm the regulatory status of topical products in their target market. Related ingredients in our range also include Ethanol and D-Biotin (Vitamin B7).
Because the API is potent when swallowed, Zyntex supplies it only to licensed pharmaceutical and authorized cosmetic producers, not to individuals.
