Making my own clay formulas, looking for opinions/suggestions. Also, snail extract?

Post by TheFunkyStumpfighter »

So I have used my Scalpure up, and I do not feel it did any more for my scalp than the crappy clay mix I made myself a few times. Ive decided to just make my own, much the same as a few others here have. Right now, I think I want to make two different formulas: one for simply cleaning my scalp, that I could leave in for maybe half an hour before lasering, and one more meant as scalp therapy. The one meant simply to clean will probably just have pascalite, ACV, peppermint oil (for its flushing ability), and GFSE. The more therapeutic one has me stumped, though, and I have a few weeks to go over what I may want to use while I wait for this website to pay the money they owe me, so I can buy at least 6 months worth of ingredients. Id be it using more for my terrible inflammation

Right now, Im figuring Ill hydrate it with 2x reconstituted aloe juice, and add green tea extract, a small amount of GFSE, and some jojoba oil. I have been thinking about maybe adding things like apple poly, and resveratrol, but I cant really find either in liquid form.

Two things I have been looking at more closely is that apple stem cell stuff linked a while back. Im not sure if itd be worth putting in a clay, though, especially considering its pretty expensive. The other is this:

I saw OMG mention that bioskincare stuff, and thats the pure snail extract without all the other %&$!. Im not sure if that would be worth putting in the clay, either, as it may work better in another application, and its like 80 bucks for about 3 1/2 ounces.

Anyway, Im open to suggestions. I dont much care to regrow hair with it, I just want to get my awful scalp inflammation under control, and while I plan on ordering some of that keratase stuff with the piroctone olamine in it, I want to take it all a step further.

How about tanakura clay?

I personally wouldn't bother with the apple stem cell ingred for this. The Resv and applepoly...seems those too would be better in a topical that you'd leave on.

Then there's that snail slime/emu oil combo.
