Polysorbate 20 keeps clay pomade fluid. Does not thicken!
I’ve always had an issue with my clay pomade formulas during the cool down phase. It would always thicken too fast and I would end up scooping it into the jar. Now that I have introduced polysorbate 20 to my formula at 1.5%, my clay pomade doesn’t thicken at the final stage of cooling. So much so that it doesn’t even thicken the next day. I can litterlay pour it out. Do I need to use less polysorbate 20? Or perhaps less water?
