Posted on: March 6 2013A cream with 3% minoxidil for the eyebrows.
A doctor asks me a stable CR è me for the eyebrows, which contains 3% minoxidil. I read that minoxidil base is insoluble in water and that the salts have no great stability in solution.
Answer
What you write is correct. Because of the fact that a medicinal product in dissolved form is usually better reared, I would opt for a gel. Actually a minoxidil lotio, which we make with the help of Carbomer semi-fixed.
Try this composition:
minoxidil 3gThis gel I would pack in a tube with a fine cannula so that the CLI ë NT Would be able to put a small amount at his fingertips and put on the eyebrows.
Propylene glycol 30g
ethanol 13g

triethanolamine 0.5 g
water up to 100g
