Revised Hair Pomade Formula (Approx. 100g)

Okay, I understand you want to adjust your hair pomade formula to reduce the oily feel and increase stickiness, aiming for a 100g batch.

Based on your original ingredients and the feedback from the staff regarding calculating the correct proportions for a 100g batch, here is a revised formula proposal. The staff correctly pointed out that the water amount should be what remains after accounting for all other ingredients to reach your target total weight (in this case, 100g).

To make the formula less oily, I recommend reducing the amount of Coco Wash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate), as this ingredient acts as an emollient and could be contributing to the oily feel. To increase stickiness and hold, I suggest increasing the amount of PVP K-90, which is a film-forming polymer specifically used for hair styling and hold.

Here is a proposed revised formula for a 100g batch:

• Purified Water: 59g
• Paste Maker (Ceteareth-25): 25g
• Coco Wash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate): 1g
• Glycerin: 10g
• PVP K-90: 4g
• Phenoxyethanol: 1g
• Total: 100g

Explanation of Changes:

• The amount of Purified Water is calculated to bring the total batch size to 100g.
• Coco Wash (PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate) is reduced from 2g to 1g to help decrease the oily sensation.
• PVP K-90 is increased from 2g to 4g to enhance the stickiness and hold of the pomade.
• Other ingredients (Paste Maker, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol) remain at their original proportions relative to the non-water ingredients, adjusted to fit the 100g total.

General Mixing Instructions:
Typically, for a water-based pomade like this, you would combine the water phase ingredients (Purified Water, Paste Maker, Glycerin, PVP K-90) and heat them gently while stirring until the solids are fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform. Allow the mixture to cool down before adding the Phenoxyethanol preservative and stirring until fully incorporated.

Remember to always perform a small test batch first to ensure the texture and performance meet your expectations before making a larger quantity.
