Need help with pomade consistency
Hi all, I am in the process of creating my own unorthodox pomade. I have pretty much reached a point where the hold and shine is how I want it BUT I am struggling to get the right consistency.
It is fairly firm and easyish to scoop out, but its not smooth, it rivets as it you scoop and crumbles a bit in your hand. I would like it to be smoother without losing any of the hold or firmness.
I am using; water, beeswax, emulsifying wax, mango butter, carnauba wax, lanolin, hydrogenated castor oil, castor oil, avocado oil, stearic acid, fragrance, preservative.
I have tried increasing water, increasing liquid oils, reducing stearic acid, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
