"Hi! I wanted to make a hair grease or pomade, it says this is water soluble, but my product will only require beeswax or a vegan friendly wax and oil. I used this to make a diy avocado mask which was awesome and a hair cream which was also awesome! Is there a possibility I can use this extract or should I purchase the leaf/flower and soak in oil?"

Staff Answer You can use this water soluble extract in your pomade. We used ginseng extract in a pomade recipe and it worked fine. Here is a link to that recipe for your review: https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/handmade101/how-to-make-recipes/hair-and-beard-pomade.aspx
