How to choose a minoxidil supplier: the checklist serious stores use
Cheap "minoxidil" is everywhere online, and not all of it is what it seems. If you resell it in your business, your reputation is in every bottle. This is the checklist worth going through.
1. It must be a legitimate FDA-regulated product
In the U.S., minoxidil that claims to regrow hair is a drug. To be sold legally it must be a drug regulated by the FDA. Ask the supplier for the Drug Facts label and for the manufacturer, and look them up in the FDA database (Drugs@FDA).
2. Watch out for "cosmetic" products
Some imported products are sold as cosmetics with minoxidil inside. A cosmetic cannot claim to regrow hair, and if it does, it is treated as an unapproved drug. If the supplier cannot show you the Drug Facts label, pass.
3. The carton and the label
- Full Drug Facts panel: active ingredient, use, warnings and directions.
- Lot number and expiration date on every unit.
- Name of the distributor and a phone number or email for questions.
- Child-resistant closure: federal law requires it for minoxidil.
4. The supplier
- Based in the U.S., with a real person you can talk to.
- Gives you a receipt with the order number and the detail of what you bought.
- Confirms the delivery time in writing.
