Hair lotion

Sulfathiazole is advised as an hair lotion additive defatting the hair and reducing formation of dandruff (1024). The polymeric 2-aminothiazoles derivatives (427) exhibit good thermal stability with decomposition in air starting at 350°C (1025). 

Occasionally, children are exposed unknowingly to estrogens. Precocious puberty has been observed in young girls after contact with hair lotions and other products containing estrogenic compounds (SED-12,1032) (202,203). 

Pilocarpine is a widely studied peripheral stimulant of the parasympathetic system (101). It is used topically as a myotic to counteract the mydriatic effect of atropine and other parasympatholytic drugs. It has clinical value in the treatment of glaucoma when used as eye drop solutions ranging from 0.5 to 10% in concentration (102). Pilocarpine is reported to stimulate the growth of hair and therefore was employed in hair lotions (1). Internally, it was used as a diaphoretic in the treatment of nephritis (103). 

Contact hypersensitivity to pyridoxine is rare. Only three cases of allergy to pyridoxine have been reported in hair lotion (35), a glucocorticoid cream (36), and a skin cream (Iruxol) (37). There have also been a few reports of photosensitivity due to pyridoxine hydrochloride (30,31,33). 

Thymus vulgaris L. (Thyme) The main component of the essential oil (2.3 %) of partially dried leaves of thyme grown in Kenya was thymol. Thyme oil from other countries is reported to contain thymol (up to 85%) and p-cymene (up to 45%). Thyme is used as a spice due to its apetite stimulating and digestion promotion properties. The oil has strong antimicrobial activity and is also used in the liqueur industiy and as a perfume in soaps, deodorants and hair lotions (34).

Pilocarpine is used principally as a diaphoretic, that is, to induce sweating, especially in nephritis, to relieve the kidneys and to remove toxic metabolites. The secretion of 3 liters of sweat can easily be achieved, and as much as 8 g. of nitrogen can be eliminated. The alkaloid is also employed as a milder substitute for physostigmine in the treatment of ocular diseases. Pilocarpine is reputed to stimulate the growth of hair, and jaborandi extracts are therefore employed to some extent as constituents of hair lotions. 

Use H. is used as an antipyretic and antirheumatic agent as well as for venous complaints. Arnica tinctures are used externally for sprains, contusions, hematomas, and for wound treatment.

In the past the drug was misused to induce abortions on account of its uterus-stimulating activity. H. exhibits antitumor properties ... 

Estrogens are not frequently used topically except in vaginal and scalp preparations. Fregert and Rorsmann (1960,1962) described an allergic patient sensitized by a hair lotion containing diethylstilbestrol. Cross-sensitization was demonstrated to dienoestrol, hexoestrol, bisphenol A, p-benzylphenol, the monobenzylether of hydroquinone, and the benzylester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid.
