    PEG-90 is not as soluble as you think enzihoo. Add a hydrotrope, a bit of amphoteric will do.

    Disperse it in glycerin or propylene glycol first

    I added
    0.1% Polyox (PEG-90M)
    1% Glycerin
    to a detangling shampoo and everything worked fine. Maybe you can try reducing glycerin a bit more so it doesn’t affect viscosity or foam.

    I have only used Polyox in rinse off products.
    What’s your experience using it in leave-on products (like hair waxes)?
