    I’ve begun using a bonnet to protect my hair. I think it’s working but I wake up with wavy hair.

    Yes I use sodium lactate too. Electrolytes make formulas harder to create but in a water based it seems to work amazingly. It has a much more tacky feel so I’ve had to do a lot of experimenting. I use it in magnesium lotion to help the magnesium feel less sticky and humid but not sure how well it works since too much can have the opposite effect.

    Slightly off topic, could essential oils theoretically help with the shelf life of the product and possibly act as a deterrent for contaminants? I used to make a rice powder for hair and after several years of being in the bathroom I haven’t detected any contaminants at least through sight and smell. I don’t have the resources to test it in a lab but would love to know what the scientific understanding is on this.
