Hair Styling Formulation - HELP
Hi Chemists,
I have just made my first batch of hair styling clay and it didnt turn out as expected.
I am not sure why is my finish product is clumpy thick and grainy.
I heated my wax phase ingredients to 70 Celsius and let it cool off to around 50 before adding Kaolin and Bentonite Clay. After which i follow by heating up to 70 Celsius and add in the water phase ingredients.
I suspected that i add in too much kaolin and bentonite clay but am i doing it wrong? Would love some expert advice as the end product should be creamy and smooth and easy pliable.
This are the list of ingredients i used:
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Jojoba esters
Neroli infused Aqua
Kaolin
Bentonite
Polysorbate-80
Catearyl Alchohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside
Olive butter
Lanolin
Butylene Glycol
Silica
Glycerin
Vit. E oilThanks and hope some expert are able to put in some valuable advice. I have to say this is my first attempt and i have zero chemistry background. So, i may have make some mistake on the stirring part or heating up part.
