  • How to avoid the bubble in the formula

    I was trying to prepare the crystal clear hair pomade, however when I mix phase A and B even with very slow stirring it still resulted with bubbles and the finished product are full of bubble therefore even though it is clear but you can’t see it. How to resolve this bubble problem?

    Phase A
    Water
    Methyl
    Propanediol 

    Acrylates/Methacrylamide
    Copolymer
    DMDM Hydantoin

      That’s the problem with these types of thickener.

      Vibration tables are quite effective.  Many models are on the market for removing bubbles in a range of products, not just cosmetic formulations.  I’ve seen an ultrasound unit that was amazing.  Some companies build their own vibration tables using commercial massage therapy vibrators.

      Vacuum kettles and vacuum filling. Otherwise, design a product with delayed and/or temperature sensitive thickening.
