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

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

    @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

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

    @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%

    @David08848 i meant that you should first of all select the adequat fatty acids and oils i think that with only coconut fatty acids and stearic acid with adequat level and using 7% NaOh , 93% Koh with superfat between 5 % and 10% you can have good product.
