  Substitution of Raw

  Posted by Beatrice on August 3, 2015 at 3:01 pm

  Working on a hair pomade that calls for  PEG-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate (CAS No. 130249-48-8). Any thoughts that might work?

  That’s probably Crothix http://www.crodapersonalcare.com/home.aspx?view=dtl&d=content&s=157&r=273&p=1859&productName=&inciname=&chemicaltype=&application=&subapplication=&productfunction=&consumerbenefit=&prodID=287 

  Without the formula, I cant help further. Any reason you can’t just use the Croda material?

  The minimum quantities will drive the clients price up high. If we have to we will but thought there may be a drop in or product that performed the same.

  I don’t have the percentages yet as it’s still in the works but the ingredients in order (if it helps) are:

  Water

  Ceteareth-25

  Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

  Propylene Glycol

  Peg-7 Hygrogenated Castor Oil

  Polysorbate 20

  PVP

  PEG-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate

  Peg-12 Dimethicone

  DMDM Hydantoin

  Iodoproppynyl Butylcarbamate

  Methylparaben

  Propylparaben

  Fragrance

  what about peg 150 distearate? In shower gels you get similar reology with peg150 ds and crothix — sometimes at high concentrations it’s almost Newtonian/honey like. It can get sticky. I like that feeling though.

  The downside is, I guess, crothix comes in liquid form but peg50 ds is a bit annoying to melt …
