Minoxidil powder is a high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) identified by CAS No. 38304-91-5, with the molecular formula C₉H₁₅N₅O and a molecular weight of approximately 209.25. It typically presents as a white or off-white crystalline powder, slightly soluble in ethanol and water, and soluble in glacial acetic acid, complying with strict USP/EP/BP pharmaceutical standards with a purity of ≥99% . As a key raw material in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, it is manufactured in GMP-certified facilities, with each batch undergoing rigorous HPLC/UV testing to ensure heavy metal residues (≤20ppm) and total impurities (≤1.0%) meet international safety requirements .
Originally developed as an oral antihypertensive medication due to its vasodilator properties (acting as a potassium channel opener to dilate blood vessels), minoxidil powder is now most widely recognized for its proven efficacy in hair regrowth and anti-hair loss treatments . Its core mechanism lies in enhancing scalp microcirculation, activating dormant hair follicles, prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, and increasing hair density—making it effective for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and alopecia areata .
As a versatile API, minoxidil powder is the foundational ingredient for formulating various topical products, including hair regrowth serums, foams, shampoos, and conditioners . It offers excellent stability (shelf life up to 24-36 months when stored in a cool, dry place) and precise dosage control, making it a preferred choice for pharmaceutical manufacturers, cosmetic brands, and research institutions worldwide .

1. Hair Growth Stimulation: Minoxidil powder encourages the transition of hair follicles from the telogen phase (resting phase) to the anagen phase (active growth phase). This helps to stimulate the growth of new, thicker hair.
2. Improved Blood Circulation: It dilates blood vessels in the scalp, enhancing blood flow and providing essential nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles. This improved circulation is vital for promoting healthier and stronger hair.
3. Prevention of Hair Thinning: Minoxidil powder can help to reverse hair thinning and strengthen existing hair, which makes it a popular choice in the treatment of hair loss.
