Delivery systems

	Question

Hi Dr Yechiel, I am currently using topical Zinc Sulphate/Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (Vitamin B6) in an attempt to treat hair loss. The problem is that the formula uses Ethyl Alcohol as a penetrant and I suspect that this is drying my hair and causing a little irritation to the scalp (I have sensitive skin and mild eczema). I am have read with interest about Nanosomes (although the terminology is a little over my head!). If I wanted to use Nanosomes as my delivery system but add my own ingredients, is there something I could purchase (i.e. is there a liquid available that could be used purely as a delivery system, just as I currently use Ethyl Alcohol as a delivery system)? If not, are there alternative penetrants to Ethyl Alcohol that you could recommend (kinder to sensitive skin)? Thanks, Andrew

Hello Andrew, I apologize for the delay in my response. We can help you build a product via The Formulator. None of our products contains alcohol and there are several technologies which can be used, including nano-encapsulation, and Nanosomes. We will be happy to assist you in such a project. However, it is possible that you can find many or all the ingredients that interest you in some of our stock products, which is always a less expensive option than The Formulator. Thank you for your question.
