Ceteareth 25 does not offer holding features like Carbomer. Ceteareth 25 is a "Colloid stabilizing emulsifier". That means it will "gel" net your ingredients, into a soft or a very firm form, depending on the percentage used in t…

@nasrins - keep the leave-in spray water percentage at 80% and above. This is a good example with Carbomer and Triethanolamine. Spray Hair Gel: https://www.lubrizol.com/PersonalCare/S-G0010-Spray-Hair-Gel.pdf

Yes. >If I remove beeswax,vaselin and carbomer , it becomes so thin... If you wish to keep them, add them at 0.1% each for liquid paraffin, beeswax and vaselin. For carbomer 0.05% and tea 0.05%

There was a spray some years back that was a slight gel liquid with alcohol and water. It was a setting lotion. Can't remember the name at the moment. >I think its difficult to have a hair mask with carbomer which I can spray it.

For leave-in lotion in squirt bottle. Increase polysorbate80 to 4%. For leave-in spray replace the liquid paraffin, beeswax and vaselin, with oil. Jojoba oil at 2% can be the only oil or share it with another oil. Remove the carbomer and TEA, and…

@bohnjowers: Decrease (or omit) your Glycerin level, because it overrides the PVP holding effect. Glycerin attracts moisture to the hair. With the fats in your formula, maybe you can try adding a little 'Isopropyl Myristate' to lessen the oil feel/…
-
@nasrin: try a new base formula. instead of using carbomer and tea, try something like BTMS [Behentrimonium Methosulphate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol]. The glycerin level is high in your formula so the spray on liquid is going to attract moisture to the …

@nasrins - research "Piroctone Olamine". It's used as a replacement for "Zinc Pyrithione".

@nasrins Maybe why it's not overly expensive is because it is not hydrolyzed, but only a contact exchange would clarify that. Their website description says nothing about it being hydrolyzed. BASF sells 'Complexe Caviar LS 9747' which is hydrolyze…

For example "hair relaxer"? And the main vessel would be the combine phase?

>Some people consider Petroleum natural since it is taken from the ground. @Perry :-) Honestly, I do not see Petroleum as a bad ingredient. Not even Dimethicone too, because it is just a polymer derived from its mother element, silicon or silica.
