Professional Chemist / FormulatorJuly 15, 2022 at 4:30 pm in reply to: What is the Best add for hair wax?!@chemicalmatt thanks for the input butylene glycol/glycerin and the most important what will add this for product?
Actually I guess especially dimethicone or other silicone can be beneficial for many reasons for such product but even other proposed ingredients are chosen for reasons . Finally fine to hear from an expert new vision???? -

Professional Chemist / FormulatorJuly 15, 2022 at 4:24 pm in reply to: What is the Best add for hair wax?!@Abdullah actually almost water based hair wax contain sush level of Ceteareth and even more and yes it makes hair dry. We can add oils but then we move to other product which is hair cream-wax product and for sure I tried the product.

Professional Chemist / FormulatorMay 9, 2022 at 10:30 am in reply to: Cationic polymer to silicone ratio for maximum deposition vs minimum polymer use@Abdullah for shampoo or bodywash it is better to use cationic polymer however why not to try a sample without it and see the result, my thoughts that tensioactifs in the product may can (dissolve/emulsify) your silicone.

Professional Chemist / FormulatorMay 9, 2022 at 10:13 am in reply to: Matting agent in oil based Lipsticks@Devesh327 i guess for your goal we can play with things
Reduce ingredients (castor oil, carnauba wax) which cause glossy effect 69% as average in your formulation then it is soo logical to have glossy effect.
Then the idea of @grapefruit22 is good by adding clay for more matt finish. -

Professional Chemist / FormulatorMay 9, 2022 at 8:54 am in reply to: improving my formula, I don’t know why it’s lacking emolliencyI will give you two Ways @mikeylamar
* First without input : so I will suggest to decrease the level of glycerin, sesame oil and cetyl alcohol and all amount will go for petroleum jelly.
* Second with input (already proposed) change sesame oil with better oil may mineral oil can one of them, add some ester as IPM, some butter as Shea, add some silicone and may changing the emulsifier.
