Overview
The OTZ Salt Advantage
Many potent cosmetic actives are poorly water soluble in their free base form, limiting their practical use in modern aqueous formulations. By pairing these actives with Oxothiazolidinecarboxylic Acid (OTZ), Mironova Labs creates salt forms that dissolve freely in water for versatile aqueous formulation.
The OTZ counterion is not merely a solubilizing agent — it is itself a cysteine precursor with established antioxidant and keratin-supporting properties, making each salt a dual-active ingredient.

Why Choose Our Hair Enhancement Actives
Formulated for Performance
True Water Solubility
OTZ salt forms dissolve cleanly in aqueous systems without co-solvents, enabling clear serums, tonics, and spray formulations.
Dual-Active Composition
Every salt delivers two actives: the primary diaminopyrimidine oxide plus OTZ, a cysteine precursor with antioxidant and keratin-supporting properties.
Non-Prostaglandin
Avoids the regulatory and safety concerns associated with prostaglandin analogs in cosmetic hair enhancement products.
Formulation Flexibility
Compatible with serums, tonics, shampoos, conditioners, and leave-on sprays. Stable across pH 4.0–6.5 in most aqueous cosmetic systems.
High Purity
≥98% by HPLC with batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Identity confirmed by HPLC and elemental analysis.
US Manufactured
Produced at our Fairfield, NJ facility with full supply chain transparency and regulatory-ready documentation.
