Inositol is a naturally occurring nutrient that is usually classified as a carbocyclic polyol. The most common form of inositol is sometimes referred to as myo-inositol. In the human body, inositol plays a major role in preventing the collection of fats in the liver, as well as promoting healthy hair growth. The presence of the nutrient also aids in efficient processing of nutrients into the conversion of energy, which in turn helps the body to maintain a healthy metabolism. [CAS: 87-89-8; EINECS: 201-781-2]. Function: Antistatic/ hair conditioning/ humectant. The actual or estimated LD50 value: 10,000 mg/kg body weight. AICS status (NICNAS Australia): AICS Compliant. [Panthenyl Ethyl Ether, Milk Protein, Lactose, Inositol, Acetyl Cysteine, Acetyl Methionine, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid]. Follicusan™ contains biologically active signaling proteins, ethyl panthenol (provitamin B5), inositol, as well as acetyl cysteine and  acetyl methionine, in a water-alcohol medium. The product vitalizes the cells of the scalp, including the hair follicles, and thus counteracts premature, accelerated hair loss (alopecia). Follicusan™ is a whitish, opaque liquid and dissolves in water and (used at the recommended maximum concentration of 5 %) dissolves in water-alcohol mixtures with a maximum alcohol content of 50 % w/w. Within the pH range 3.5 to 5.5 the proteins in Follicusan™ may precipitate, therefore when formulating with Follicusan™ this pH range should be avoided.
