  Making Plastic

  Posted by thatjoevan on February 8, 2019 at 7:09 pm

  I’ve been messing around with the pomade formula below and when I mix the water phase into the oil phase it turns into a plastic blob. Which ingredient(s) is responsible for this? 

  I’m mixing the 2 phases at 86C

  Oil Phase:
  Cet-25 - 20%
  Peg 7 Glyceryl Cocoate - 6%
  Beeswax - 3%
  Peg-40 HCO - 2.5%
  Oils - 1%

  Water Phase:
  Water - 53
  Glycerin - 6
  Propylene Glycol - 5
  PVP - 1
  Silica - .5

  After stirring by hand for about 15 seconds, it becomes a solid. 

  Thank you!
