Description and Key Features

Red onion (Allium cepa) has long been recognized in traditional medicine for its rich content of sulfur compounds, flavonoids (especially quercetin), and antioxidants. Our Red Onion Concentrated Extract captures these beneficial compounds in a potent form, making it an excellent active ingredient for targeted cosmetic applications. This concentrated extract is designed to integrate seamlessly into various formulations, offering a host of advantages.

Key features and benefits:

• Hair Growth Stimulation: Rich in sulfur, a key component of keratin (the protein that makes up hair), red onion extract is highly regarded for its potential to nourish hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth. It can help improve hair density and reduce hair fall.

• Scalp Health Improvement: Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties can help address common scalp issues like dandruff, itchiness, and minor infections, fostering a healthier environment for hair growth.

• Antioxidant Powerhouse: Loaded with flavonoids like quercetin, the extract provides robust antioxidant protection, combating free radical damage that can lead to premature aging of both skin and scalp.

• Anti-inflammatory Action: Helps to soothe irritated skin and scalp, reducing redness and discomfort.

• Skin Rejuvenation: Can contribute to a more even skin tone and improved texture due to its antioxidant and potential brightening effects.

• Natural Origin: Derived from red onions, offering a natural and sustainable ingredient choice for your formulations.

• Concentrated Form: A little goes a long way, providing high efficacy at lower usage rates.

Recipe: Invigorating Red Onion & Rosemary Hair Growth Serum

Create a potent leave-on hair serum designed to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health.

Instructions for Preparing the Serum:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, serum bottles) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.

2. Prepare Phase A (Aqueous Phase): In a clean beaker, disperse xanthan gum into glycerin, stirring well to form a lump-free slurry. This helps prevent clumping when adding to water.

3. Form the Gel (Phase A): Slowly add the distilled water to the glycerin/xanthan gum slurry while continuously stirring with a mini-mixer or whisk until a clear, homogeneous gel forms. This might take a few minutes.

4. Cool Down: Allow the gel to cool to below 40°C (104°F). This is crucial for adding heat-sensitive active ingredients.

5. Add Phase B (Active Phase): Once the gel has cooled, slowly add the Red Onion Concentrated Extract, rosemary hydrosol, niacinamide, and preservative to the gel, stirring well after each addition to ensure complete dissolution and even distribution.

6. Add Essential Oil (Optional): If using, add the essential oil and stir thoroughly for at least 1-2 minutes to ensure it is fully incorporated.

7. Check pH (Recommended): Test the pH of your finished serum. For scalp products, a pH range of 4.5-5.5 is often ideal. Adjust if necessary by adding a tiny drop of diluted lactic acid to lower pH or diluted baking soda solution to raise pH.

8. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished serum into a clean, sterile serum bottle with a dropper or pump.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: This recipe uses a 7% concentration of Red Onion Concentrated Extract for a potent effect. You can adjust the dosage based on your desired efficacy and the overall formulation.

• Temperature Sensitivity: While red onion extract itself is quite stable, adding it to the cool-down phase (below 40°C) is generally a good practice for concentrated botanical extracts to preserve all their delicate compounds.

• Application: Apply a few drops of the serum directly to the scalp, focusing on areas of concern. Gently massage into the scalp using fingertips. Do not rinse.

• Frequency: Use daily or every other day, preferably at night, to allow the serum to work effectively.

• Consistency: Consistent use over several weeks or months is key to observing noticeable results in hair growth and scalp health.

• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the inner forearm) before widespread use, especially if you have a sensitive scalp.

• Scent: While the extract itself has a mild onion scent, it typically dissipates quickly upon application. The optional essential oil can further mask any residual scent.

• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its efficacy and extend shelf life.
