    Hoping for an overview on these ingredients if anyone can help.

    I can source all these ingredients but is there really a lot of difference between them as they are all emolients and also would any of these ingredients work better specifically in a hair styling clay and maybe with a certain wax or other emolient.

    PEG 16 macadamia glycerides
    Caprylic/capric triglyceride
    Coco caprylate
    Tribehinin
    Ethylhexyl stearate

    Any help appreciated

    It’s unlikely you or a consumer would be able to notice much difference between any of those emollients. Go with the Caprylic/capric triglyceride or the PEG 16 Macadamia glycerides and call it a day.

    Emollients are gonna emollient. ;)

    agree With CC Triglyceride you get a twofer-emollient plus preservation boost
