Abstract

A composition and method for treating hair loss including glyceride of ricinus oil, eucalyptol, and mint oil. The treatment method includes the use of this composition periodically (three times per week) for a predetermined period of time (typically one month). The composition cleans the follicular area, reducing the concentration of DHT (dihydro-testosterone), thereby stimulating the growth of hair.
