Thank you for all the preservative input. I will continue to work on this aspect. I would like to get back on topic with the original question. What types of chemistry will I need to work with to get more slip in my product? Please refer to the original post.

I have had shelf stability with this formulation for 11 months 12 days as of today. I have 5 samples in 75F 15% RH, 5 samples 80F 15% RH and 5 samples 85F 15% RH. No samples are showing signs of separation, degradation or biological contamination. Product is being used daily in 5 barber shops with no signs the before mentioned. Graham stain testing has resulted in clean sample performance. I don’t want to get off topic. I would like ideas for adding a smoother comb performance with less tackiness. Please include reasoning for your comments.

Thank you.

Water 50%, Rice bran wax 15.20%, Shea butter 12.2%, Kaolin clay 7.24%, Peg 40 6.28%, Ceteral Alc. 3.88%, Poly Suga 2.62%, Leucidal 1.8%, Fragrance 1%. For reference this formulation was made with and without Leucidal. Both formulations performed the same. Please explain the reasoning on the Leucidal comment.

Thank you.
