Mid risk

FunctionActive

What it is — Aminexil (INCI: Aminexil) is a synthetic diaminopyrimidine compound used in scalp- and hair-focused products, and structurally related to some hair actives.

What it does — It appears in scalp tonics and thinning-focused ranges as part of a supportive routine. It is presented here as scalp care rather than a medical treatment, and results vary by individual.

Typical use — It appears in scalp serums, tonics and leave-on hair products.

Who it suits / good to know — Used within scalp-care routines rather than as a diagnosed hair-loss therapy. For diagnosed hair loss, a clinician can advise on evidence-based options.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk and flags it as an active better suited to expert review than routine cosmetic grading. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if your skin is reactive.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk - functional/OTC-type active rather than a standard cosmetic ingredient; graded mid on an EWG-style basis. Informational only, not medical advice.

How grades are set — Risk reflects our own reading of publicly available safety data, an EWG-style reading shown at the worst-case grade we've assigned this ingredient across products. It isn't a third party's proprietary score, and it isn't medical advice. Always read the packaging and patch-test where indicated.
