How can I help to prevent the foam from turning into a liquid?
It is important when dispensing the foam that the can is held vertically straight upside down to avoid the mixture turning into a liquid. If the can is held horizontally then the propellant is released too quickly, resulting in excess Minoxidil liquid at the bottom of the can.
