I have some questions about this formulation I found in italmatch chemicals, which is for a hair wax with matte finish:
In this formulation they use butyl oleate. I have searched the internet for information about butyl oleate ( Function, presentation, solubility, melting and boiling point) but unfortunately I have not found anything about this, besides it is a very difficult reagent to get in my country
My questions are:
What is the function of butyl oleate in this formulation? Or good, what is the function of this in cosmetic formulations? Could i replace with another commercial reagent? which?
Now, in the formulation, 2% corresponds to the zinc estereate, could i make a combination of this with ozokerite?
Comments
Why use ozokerite wax which will impede spreadability softness and feel on hair provided by zinc stearate ?
Well glyceryl mono oleate is tricky to get too, could you replace it with glyceryl stearate? (Both have the same hlb)
