Direct pour stick formula cracking

Posted by caro on September 25, 2020 at 9:12 pm

Hello, I am formulating a facial serum stick that is packaged in a twist up, plastic, round, deodorant-style stick component. The component and formula are meant to be direct-pour, but in a lot of the units that I am pouring, the product looks cracked through the clear inner cap. Is this a pouring temperature issue? I know the wax is on the lower side, but the formula feels great so I would like to keep it as close as possible, and not sure that this would cause the issue of it cracking during cool down? My formula is below.


MARULA OIL		22.95%
CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE		4.59%
JOJOBA SEED OIL		9.18%
AVOCADO OIL		9.18%
ROSEMARY CO2		0.42%
TOCOPHEROL		0.04%

SILICA MICROSPHERES		4.59%
CANDELILLA WAX		4.59%
BEESWAX		2.92%
JOJOBA ESTERS 70		2.75%

ROSEHIP SEED OIL		22.95%
RASPBERRY SEED OIL		4.59%
BLACK CURRENT OIL		6.88%
ORGANIC BULGARIAN ROSE		0.16%
HELICHRYSUM ITALICUM OIL		3.79%
RADISH PIGMENT		0.26%
POTATO PIGMENT		0.15%

Thank you!
