      Problems with matte clay pomade

      This is my formula:

      WATER PHASE:

      Water (Aqua) – 40.0%

      Propylene Glycol (Propylene Glycol) – 7.91%

      PVP K30 (PVP) – 5.93%

      Clay (Kaolin) – 19.78%

      Propylparaben (Propylparaben) – 0.20%

      OIL PHASE:

      Polysorbate 80 (Polysorbate 80) – 12.17%

      Glyceryl Monostearate (Glyceryl Monostearate) – 8.96%

      Stearic Acid (Stearic Acid) – 4.08%

      Soy Wax (Glycine Soja (Soybean) Wax) – 7.42%

      Methylparaben (Methylparaben) – 0.20%

      END PHASE:

      Fragrance (Parfum) – 0.93

      The problem I have is that once this emulsion starts to cool it “swells up”, I tried mixing it more gently but it still “swells up”

      Does anyone know where the problem could be?

      I bring the aqueous phase to 75 Celsius and the oil phase to 75 Celsius, I combine them and start with a slight agitation until achieving the emulsion, at 60 Celsius I add the essence, but as I mentioned, when it begins to cool it “swells”

      i need help please
