Hi, Anne! Basically yes, you can omit the caffeine, but you'll get a formula with one less important active.

Hi Mari, Yes, you can perform the proposed substitution, although sodium lactate is less sticky compared to glycerin. If you remove it from the recipe, since the pH of sodium lactate is between 6.5 and 8.5, you probably won't need lactic acid for pH adjustment. Have a sunny day!

Hello, I understand that sodium lactate is moisturizing, like glycerin. In this recipe can you replace the lactate with glycerin keeping the same proportions? If I remove it from the formula, can I adjust the PH with lactic acid? Have a good year! Thanks in advance.

Hello Amalia, In principle you can make the substitution. Rosemary water has properties to stimulate and regenerate the scalp, which is why it has been included in this formula, and the other two floral waters have other beneficial properties on the skin.

Hello Brigitta, You can add hyaluronic acid to the recipe. We recommend the LMW or Oligo variants, which do not have a gelling effect. Recommended dosage 0.3-0.5%. Sprinkle the hyaluronic acid gradually, stirring the solution vigorously to disperse it as well as possible. Good luck!

Hello! You can use such a macerate instead of water, we recommend about 10-15% powders in total for making the macerate and supplement the preservative to 1%.

Hello! It can be used 3 times a week, but I would recommend to reduce the frequency of washes as they maintain sebum production and it's a vicious cycle. Without preservative, the solution can be used for about 1 week.

Hi, can you use it 3 times a week? I have to wash my scalp once every 2 days as my scalp is very oily. In two weeks I've used more than half of the composition, can I skip the preservative if I consume it quickly? 100 ml every approx 3 weeks. Thanks in advance
