why is my conditioner bar so oily?
Im trying to recreate a conditioner bar and when i touch it I can glide my finger across it and still “not feel it” when I felt my bar, my finger was shiny and the bar was “sweating” I think it has to do with how much extra coconut oil is in it but im not sure what to modify. I also want to take out dimethicone because at 2% it seems useless.
my recipe:
BTMS: 46%
Cetyl alcohol: 16%
(I dont want to change these two)
coconut oil: 16%
jojoba oil: 5%
glycerin: 3%
cocoa butter: 3%
argan oil: 3%
dimethicone: 2%
hydrolyzed protein: 1%
panthenol: 2%
vitamin E: 1%
optiphen plus: 1%
My questions are:
-How can get something less oily, and more balanced?
and
-What can I sub the dimethicone out for?
thank you for reading

Remove glycerin and reduce both hydrolyzed protein and panthenol to 0.1-0.01%.
