    @BeardlyGentlemen actually i use Cathon-CG at 0,1 % if you can not find it try to find Acnibio at 0,3 % it is blend of parabens and phenoxyethanol.

    @BeardlyGentlemen actually peg 8 and peg400 are clearly different , then it will be better and easier to work for your formula just try what i told you i guess you will have better resultats.

    @Gunther actually my poade dosen’t need really defoamer cause it has very low foam , just to have an idea about defoamer i asked. Also i’am against using alcohol generally but in low dose “as defoamer level i guess ”  it will be great cause alcohol has antibacterien effect and did not has important drying effect.

    @ngarayeva001 i already use zinc oxide it gives whitennig effect however it also give drying effect and i don’t think so you want last effect for you product.
     I used corn stratch for wittening effect and i’am satified by it you can  try it if you want.

    @Kingstone it is hair pomade about details just ceteareth 25 in formulation can make bubbles so no need saying other ingredients.

    @ferrysetiawan about your formula i can see that the % of perfume 3 is too high so i sugguest to decrease it to 0,5 % , then you will not need to use tow solublizers you just need to use one polysorbate 20 or peg 40 at % equal at 2. the % of pvp should be higher for better fixation, for ceteareth 25 may you need to increase the % for better viscosity.

    @BeardlyGentlemen i suggess to delete glycerin and propylen glycol and reduce the % PEG 40 to 2.

    @gnomebeard actually your formula is something new for me thanks for that , however the fact of having oil phase will resist the drying effect of clay but the question 15% as total clay will not make residu in hair i doubt in that.
    @BeardlyGentlemen no decreasing the % of cetearth 25 will decrease the viscosity and the fixation effect so you should not increase it according to me. However  try to reduce MPG 40 to 2% and don’t make glycerin and MPG for me it will be better. Attending your experience and your reply.

    @Gunther actually silicone has many different products so may some are harmfull and some are not .
    About solubilizing perfume maybe isopropyl mystirate can be an adequat solublizer in silicone blend  according to a personnel resaerch.

    @BeardlyGentlemen actually i find your % of cetearth is good and adding wax will may adding shining effect not decreasing it.

    @BeardlyGentlemen that is good new the increasing of fixation , actually in presence of Ceteareth 25 i don’t think you will able to reduce a lot shining effect . About clay i don’t think that it will be good idea for hair pomade and it will may reduce the viscosity , fixation effect and even drying hair.

    you are welcome @ngarayeva001 and this is a good new  for you.
     So as conclusion  you can use a blend in % between 0,4 and 0,7 to preserve your emulsion.

    @ngarayeva001 parabens will be sure cause already i see industriel clay using as preservative parabens . however i will try to make it with cathon CG cause i find it more secure.

    @gnomebeard i don’t think adding Kaolin clay is a good idea in hair pomade because it will make residu and dry hair.
    @BeardlyGentlemen have you improve your product?
