  • Ingredients for Mitigating Greasiness of Oils in O/W Body Cream?

    Posted by spadirect on November 9, 2018 at 8:36 pm

    What ingredients perform well at mitigating the greasy skin feel produced by oils and occlusive agents already in an O/W body cream?

    I have read that aluminum starch octenylsuccinate (DRY FLOW® PC by AkzoNobel) has been shown to mitigate greasiness in lotions and creams.

    What are some other ingredients that may perform similarly to aluminum starch octenylsuccinate in terms of mitigating the feeling of greasiness in lotions and creams with relatively high oil content?

    Use a correct formulation in the first place and there will be no “greasy” problem.
