Would Ashi-taba be a good addition to Equiclear?

Equiclear
Hello Jacob, and thank you for your inquiry.
Angelica has a long history as an herbal remedy for a variety of conditions. Its Latin name reflects the European tradition that, being so helpful for so many problems, the plant must have been brought to earth from heaven by angels; the old herbals, such as Grieves, online at http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/a/anegl037.html, praise it extensively. Angelica keiskei, %&$!, has a long tradition of use in Asian medicine. Angelica extracts were reported to be helpful in multiple diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, and have recently been reported to be helpful in specific regulation of factors connected to the process of hairloss, a claim more oriented toward consumers of Western medicine. It is very encouraging that botanicals are gaining much attention in the last decade; simply because more people are interested, many unexpected cures and nutritional additives from botanical sources will be discovered and better understood in the near future, no doubt.
Our scalp serums, Equisomin and the two types of EquiClear (one available online and one via email inquiry) are already extremely rich in beneficial ingredients, most formulated to work in synergy; that means adding or removing anything is a complex process. Ingredients in the products are very concentrated and designed for wide-ranging coverage of scalp problems, and together Equisomin and the two types of EquiClear amount to a comprehensive scalp regimen. The Nanosome base is interactive and can exchange materials with skin, though Equisomin is more on the give side and EquiClear formulations are more on the take side.
I do believe that even if angelica extract is beneficial it would not significantly improve EquiClear and its suggested mode of action is not in synergy with the other ingredients, so it may even dilute their effect. In addition, it may be counter-productive to change ingredients with great frequency. It is critical to get well acquainted with good products, observing the long-term effects of a well-designed formula. A good solid product can carry on and do a lot of good for a lot of people. We always keep our eyes out for new things and test them and design a new product if something that is critically different emerges, but we havent seen anything in the research about angelica to justify changing successful formulae to include it now. There is always something new and something promising and something to try, which is great news and means we can be busy inventing something new forever; we would probably create a new product to incorporate the next round of changes, whatever they are, rather than redesigning Equisomin or Equiclear. Were willing, as always, to manufacture a custom batch of at least 2Kg for customers who are interested in contracting with us to create something for their private label, but for the products we sell under our own label we are pleased with the current formulations and in no hurry to undertake the complex process of re-testing and re-adjusting everything to incorporate a new ingredient such as angelica.
We are currently developing new patentible actives (long term procedure) together with some new theories on the causes leading to baldness (Its time for that). We will publish the new theories in future articles in our Journal of Topical Formulations. The products we have are very potent in activity and very mild in the way they feel and can do a lot of good for people who haable expectations and reasonable patience. I will include the list of ingredients for our three scalp-care serums so that what I say about products loaded with very potent ingredients becomes more apparent.
