Water Soluble Pomade Help
I’m having difficulty getting a strong fixative effect with a water soluble pomade I have been asked to develop. I’m currently using several comparable products on the market as a guide, but cannot seem to figure out the ratio between the polymer (PVP K90) and the plasticizers (Glycerin and PEG) to get an optimal hold. Below are the ingredients I am using with some rough concentrations I have tried-and everything in between:
As aforementioned, I’m primarily concerned with the PVP and plasticiser concentrations. I’ve pretty much got everything nailed except for the fixitave qualities of the formulation. Any guidance would be appreciated.
