Thanks @gld010 actually it is intersting your explication and appriciate your solutions given .

[Fekher]

Update @Perry thanks a lot i  made four batchs:
1) with 0 % castor oil 
2) with 5 % castor oil
3) with 10 % castor oil
4) with 20 % castor oil
 So from 5 % the shining and smoothing effects are acceptables however the surprising thing that castor oil effect a lot the texture of product so the more level of  castor oil the more waxy product wich is bad thing for me about texture .

[Fekher]

Take a look @Dirtnap1 this can be intersting for you

[Fekher]

@natzam44 actually i guess your product is o/w emulsion so you need to calculate required hlb because as i searched your emulsifier has 14,9 hlb wich is not your required one.

[Fekher]

Actually hair gel give high shine , write your formulation to get better advice.

[Fekher]

@David08848 Teastearate is a soap so nothing special to make it.

[Fekher]

good share @Aldyppratama

[Fekher]

@Aldyppratama actually evryone has adequat use so for oil phase you should will use parrafin and for water phase you should use Peg-8 beewax.

[Fekher]

@vishara write you formulation to have better help.

[Fekher]

thanks @ngarayeva001 logic what you said @natzam44 actually good idea to know what peoples buy however when it is new product it is hard to have information about it what i did that gave my products to many barber shop and they said that the products are good i even see the reaction of people they just like it so the problem i can not make all in same time for cost reason that’s why i must make a choice.

[Fekher]

@LaurenM88 i guess your emulsion need correction , you need to know required hlb then you you use adequat level of emulsifier.

[Fekher]

@ngarayeva001 intersting product ☺.

[Fekher]

@pranayana reduce the level of use , increase level of perfume and you can try both.

[Fekher]

@Perry thanks for sure making try is needed you gave me what i want (start point). 

[Fekher]

have any one idea about minimum level needed of  castor oil to give smoothing and shiny effect ?

[Fekher]

@SPMX you need to reach  25%  of ceteareth 25 or more to have thick pomade .

[Fekher]

@Spinr so your product is cream wax then you will need to know your required hlb for your oil phase.

[Fekher]

@Spinr Actually no hlb required in water based pomade cause it is not emulsion the emulsifiers are used to obtain adequat texture as ceteareth .

[Fekher]

@Eruio you are welcome.

[Fekher]

@Amira you are welcome .

[Fekher]

@Amira  increasing % of IPM can also reduce greasy effect . Waiting your sucees have nice Job.

[Fekher]

@Amira from short researching your input can give slicky and emollient effect but i did not find that they reduce greasy effect just octyl palmitate can reduce greaseness

[Fekher]

@Amira for better texture and less greassy effect you can use C12-15 alkylbenzoate and strach.

[Fekher]

@David08848 for sure.

@Eruio active surfactant=( % level of use in formulation * active concentration of  surfactant) / 100.
 So if you use 10 % SLS with 70% concentration
surfactant active = (10 * 70) / 100 = (10 * 70 ) /  100 = 7%
