  I have to make a crystal clear water soluble pomade. I have difficulties to get a strong hold and a crystal clear formula ! 

  I understand that I just have to add water with C-25 but it is not enough hold. I would like to improve that, so I want to add PVP but my formula became opaque and I have the impression that when I work it in my fingers it emulsifies (become white) ... 

  I don't have refractometer to get transparancy with plasticizers...

  
  

  Have you got some ideas ?? 

  
  

  My simple formula is : 

  
  

  Phase A (85°C)

  Water

  PVP K 30 powder

  
  

  Phase B (85°C)

  Ceteareth 25 (solids)
  

  
  

  Phase A into phase B 

  
  

  If I want to package my formula, I can add maximum 23% of C-25. 

  
  

  I am waiting for your answer. Thank you !!

    Celine, this formula will not carry too much of any polymer as it is basically a surfactant solution not an emulsion as so many think it is. I have had success adding another nonionic co-surfactant (i.e. PEG-7 lanolin or other PEG ester) at very low concentration. It will be translucent, not clear though. Good luck.

  Hi, Perry suggested I contact you. I'm looking for someone to either bottle their own product in my bottles or their own product. Either way there is some hand finishing on the bottles.

  
  

  Thanks
