MemberMay 26, 2017 at 2:34 pm in reply to: Wax Crystals In My Home-brewed Oil Based Pomade@Perry, I just started doing this yesterday. So far I have one ingredient left to remove and haven’t experienced any change in the results yet. Thank you for the recommendation.

MemberMay 24, 2017 at 4:46 pm in reply to: Wax Crystals In My Home-brewed Oil Based Pomade@EliseCortes, I’m not sure as I’m not 100% positive as to what is causing my issue. I’d like to determine the root cause and see if there is a way to adjust my process rather than add another ingredient to the formula. However, if this is the best option then I will investigate.

MemberMay 24, 2017 at 2:24 pm in reply to: Wax Crystals In My Home-brewed Oil Based PomadeThank you all for the feedback. It is truly appreciated and valued.
@Bill_Toge, the coconut oil is virgin. I initially thought that was the problem so I tried a sample without using coconut oil and obtained the same result.
@Belassi, I would like to keep playing with the consistency of the pomade. I like the hold that beeswax offers. Maybe I can find a balance between combining the two.
@DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ, would you say the level of beeswax I’m using is too high or low? Would reducing the amount of petrolatum help? I have noticed that the pomade is on the more oily side of things. I’d like to reduce that aspect.
