WTA - Pomade waterbased not harden/solid after 6 hour
hi guys, i would like to ask your opinion. the mixture seems not getting harden/solid after few hour of mixing, i don’t know where i’ve done wrong. i hope you guys can assist me.
distilled Water -67%
Ceteareth - 25 7.5%
Glycerin - 4%
Propylene Glycol - 3%
Peg-7 Glyceryl cocoate - 3.5%
Pvp K90 - 5%
Peg-40 Hydrogenated castor oil - 2%
Polysorbate 20 - 1%
Fragrance - 1%
dmdmh - 1%
double boiler x 2phase 1
mixing distilled water + PG + VG until clear , then heating it up nicely around 50c-70c. slowly input the PVP k90 into the mixture and stir slowly and mix it until the pvp is desolved completely and let it be on 80c
phase 2
mix PEG 40 CA + PEG 7 GC , stir it until in become unified enough for me, then slowly input the C25 into the mixture. stir it slowly.
phase 3
put (phase 2) into (phase 1) and stir it until the foam dissisipate and let it cool down to 50c
phase 4
input the mixture of fragrance + polysorbate 20 into the boiler.
phase 5
last but not least, put the DMDMH for preservative
.it this correct guys? please share with me your thought and ideas.
tq

you need to increase your ceteareth-25; that’s the material that makes the product go solid

double boiler x 2i do get the solidifies result, but there is new problem coming up. cause i do put some colouring in the pomade, lets say blue. when i try to take a bit piece of it, some of the pomade become slightly white. not all of it.. is that normal? if it is, maybe because my home brew
