water based stiff gel- help
I am trying to make a men’s pomade/stiff gel—not a wax product. It will be in a small flat tin style jar. I am having difficulty with %’s and keeping the product in a “clear” state. Most gel formulas tend to have a carbomer so what is causing this to gel? What am I missing.
The benchmark ingredient listing is :
water,ceteareth-25,pvp,sodium cocoamphoacetate,glycerin,propylene glycol,peg-75-lanolin,preservativebased on raw material availability-
water-58%
ceteareth-20-15%
ceteareth-30-5%
pvp-15%
sodium cocoamphoacetate-5%
glycerin-3%
propylene glycol-2%
preservative-1.0%
