Thin layer of fragrance separation
Hello,
I am making hair pomades. Have been experimenting for more than half a year, more than 150 samples done, and it seems that I like to consistency I got, but now I have problems with separation of the fragrance… I thought that maybe the fragrance itself is not good, but sometimes, the same fragrance gives perfect, matte look, sometimes small dropplets come out next day on the top of all pomade… Sometimes even a very thin transparent layer…
How I do it:
Phase A: (heat to 70-75C)
Water VP/VA Copolymer MPG Aloe barbadensis Hydrolyzed AC plant keratin Phase B: (heat to 80C+) Lanolin Karnauba wax Cetearyl alcohol Emulsifying wax NF Ceteareth-25 PEG-7 Glyceryl cocoate Glyceryl stearate Mineral oil Phase C: (add to water at around 70C, mixt well) Peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Fragrance Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
Then I pour oils to water, mix well (with hands, because either neither homogenizator ror overhead mixer does not help, cause they cause too much bubles, and their are impossible to mix before the product is too thick to pour. The pouring to jars is quite quickly, since the product gelts solid very fast. I also tried simpple essential oil, but also, I have to put it while the product is still hot and also separated.Would anyone have any idea what to do with the fragrance separation?
