FORMULATION OVERVIEW: Formulating Scalp Serum

Learn to address specific scalp concerns and promote overall scalp health!

Scalp serums deliver a concentrated blend of active ingredients directly to the scalp. They often contain a variety of ingredients, including vitamins, botanical extracts, humectants, AHAs and essential oils.

• Scalp serums can be formulated to
• Nourish, balance and rejuvenate the scalp.
• Stimulate blood circulation, which can in turn support healthy hair growth and improve the condition of the hair.
• Alleviate issues like dryness, flakiness, itchiness, or excess oil production.

You will learn how to formulate aqueous, gel-based scalp serums that can be used as rinse-off or leave-on products and won’t cause oily roots.

You’ll receive two ready-to-use formulations from our lab:

Tonifying and Protecting Scalp Serum, to deeply nourish and tone the skin on the scalp, stimulate hair roots and protect newly grown hair.

PHA and AHA Exfoliating Scalp Serum, to aid the removal of dead skin cells from the scalp that cause visible flakes, soothe itchy skin and prevent redness.

For each formulation, we include:

• Product development questions.
• Explanations for our choice of ingredients.
• A ready-to-use formula.
• Instructions for making.
• Product specification.
• Directions for use.
• Preservative efficacy test results.
