Does the alcohol in the solution harm the skin or hair follicles?
A. Not at all. When you apply the recommended 1mL of the 12.5% Minoxidil Solution to your scalp, the total amount of alcohol in the dosage is, at most, 0.5mL. That’s a very small quantity of alcohol, which will neither be harmful to the hair follicles nor to the skin. When alcohol, e.g. rubbing alcohol, is applied to the skin, it is quickly absorbed and diluted by the body fluids and there is no harm to the body tissues.
