  Ingredient(s) to slow setting/evaporation in Hydrous Product

  Posted by Dirtnap1 on February 13, 2018 at 10:34 pm

  Hello,

  I am developing a hydrous hair clay product. My current formula works, but sets/tackifies rather quickly once the product is emulsified in ones palms and added to the hair. 

  Quick rundown on my ingredients. I can post a complete recipe if needed as I don’t have it at my office where I am currently. 

  Water 
  kaolin clay
  peg-8 beeswax
  castor oil
  jojoba oil
  shea butter
  Polysorbate-20
  Peg-40 HCO
  glycol 
  pvp 1.5%
  Cyclomethicone/dimethicone
  fragrance
  preservative

  My question, what can possibly be added to slow the absorption/setting to allow longer open time for styling/combing without effecting the holding properties?

  Thank you for your time.
