A+D drops for hair<\/a>. When it’s said that you can use A+D drops for hair, it means it’s perfectly fine to use hair drops that are actually formulated to contain A and D vitamins for hair. These are products that contain Panthenol, Biotin, Ginkgo Biloba…<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, it sounds similar but that’s not IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Problem #4: Dosing Makes No Sense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The recommended dose of baby A+D drops is 3-6 drops DAILY, orally. Most online “recipes” advise putting 10ml (which is about 200 drops) in 100ml of panthenol solution and using this several times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does that make sense? Well, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOK, what happens when we put supplement A+D drops on hair?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nDo these vitamins somehow get absorbed through the scalp?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Yes, to some extent, they can enter the bloodstream if we regularly apply them to the scalp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reality: This product is not tested for dermal application. Absorption depends on many factors: skin condition, skin thickness, amount applied… In theory, vitamin A can be absorbed through skin, and vitamin D can pass through the skin barrier BUT in products that are created for skin or hair care purposes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, baby A+D drops, as a supplement, are:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nDietary supplement for oral use<\/strong> (taken through the mouth)<\/li>\n\n\n\nNot tested or formulated for skin application<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nCan cause irritation, allergic reactions or other adverse effects on skin<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nRisk of Excessive Exposure<\/h2>\n\n\n\nLocal Reactions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nContact dermatitis<\/strong> – redness, swelling, itching<\/li>\n\n\n\nAllergic reactions<\/strong> – hives, rash, stinging<\/li>\n\n\n\nClogged pores<\/strong> – due to oily formulation, can lead to scalp acne<\/li>\n\n\n\nSkin irritation<\/strong> – since it’s not formulated for dermal application<\/li>\n\n\n\nGreasy, sticky skin<\/strong> – uncomfortable and difficult to clean<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nVitamin A Overdose Symptoms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Acute:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\nHeadache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nChronic:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\nHair loss and baldness (ironic – opposite of desired effect)<\/li>\n\n\n\n Dry, rough skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n Cracked lips<\/li>\n\n\n\n Liver enlargement<\/li>\n\n\n\n Painful swelling along bones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nVitamin D Overdose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nFatigue, loss of appetite<\/li>\n\n\n\n Nausea and vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n Diarrhea, weight loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n Excessive urination<\/li>\n\n\n\n Hypercalcemia (dangerous for heart and kidneys)<\/li>\n\n\n\n Ear ringing<\/li>\n\n\n\n Vision disorders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAdditional Risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nUnpredictable absorption<\/strong> – improper handling of this type of supplementation can lead to absorbing more than you think<\/li>\n\n\n\nCumulative effect<\/strong> – vitamins accumulate in the body<\/li>\n\n\n\nInteractions<\/strong> with other medications\/supplements you’re taking<\/li>\n\n\n\nThis formulation contains high vitamin concentrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n Repeated application increases risk<\/li>\n\n\n\n Toxicity symptoms can be serious and long-lasting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The risks of applying supplement A+D drops to the scalp have more drawbacks than benefits. Instead of rubbing supplements on your scalp, invest in hair products with A or D vitamins. Or use panthenol as a hair spray, and take A+D drops orally, as advised by a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But wait, my friend swears this helped her!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Ah yes, here we come to the Panthenol Effect (let’s call it that). When someone says the panthenol + baby A+D drops combination helped them, they’re probably right – but not because of the A+D drops, but because of the panthenol!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Panthenol really does help hair. So when you apply this combination and see improvement, only panthenol was doing its job. The A+D drops were there as a “passive passenger” that fortunately didn’t harm that person, but certainly didn’t help either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s like eating green salad with gummy bears and saying “this food gives me energy” – yes, you get energy, but 99% of the energy comes from the gummy bears \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Opinion on This Combination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Instead of combining supplements and panthenol solution in a hair spray, use panthenol solution as the manufacturer recommends: as a spray, undiluted or mixed with water in a 1:1 ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take A+D drops orally, as a dietary supplement, following instructions on when and how to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did we write this article?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Because we love when homemade products have logic. And because we’re not happiest when we see women spending time and money on something that at best doesn’t help, and at worst can be harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don’t think women are easily influenced if you use this combination. We understand that we really trust some influencers. But there’s a difference between advice that has logic and pure misinformation. Being misinformed isn’t your fault – it’s the fault of those who spread such “advice” without any understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What did we learn today?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nD-panthenol solution is an excellent hair product<\/strong> – use it freely<\/li>\n\n\n\nBaby A+D drops are for oral consumption<\/strong> – don’t mix them into cosmetics, buy cosmetics with A or D vitamins<\/li>\n\n\n\nDon’t believe all “influencers”<\/strong> – ask yourself why and how something actually works<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nRemember: Your hair and skin deserve care based on logic and science, your age, skin type and hair type, problems you have with skin, problems you have with hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
