Pomade congealing too quickly
Hi all,
Looking for some help with a Pomade that is cooling too quickly.
Ingredients:
43% Water
2% Propylene Glycol
5% Glycerin4% Candelilla
28% Ceteareth-20
4.5% PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
2.5% Dimethicone
1% Polysorbate 202.25% PEG-40 Castor 7.75% preservatives, fragrance, and pvp
Mixing:
When oil and water phases reach 185-190f I mix. While the container and heating elements are at 190f+ the product begins to quickly thicken and solidify while mixing. When I use a thermal gun the product temperature has dropped down to 150f.This has me perplexed, how did the product lose 30+ degrees in temp in less than 3 minutes when it is in a double boiler that is at 190+?
Thanks!
