Advice on Sepigel 305
Hi all, new here, great to join this excellent forum. I have been using Sepigel for creams etc but even at a concentration of 1.5%-2% the final product is quite sticky - which I definitely do not like. Any advice?
Many thanks in advice! -

Hello and welcome.
You would need to share your whole formula mate. Otherwise we won’t be able to help you.

May I state the obvious: stop using Sepigel.

@mix5 Sepigel 305 is a great Robin (Chris O’Donnel), a good Sancho (Panza), a nice Melania (yikes!)….but let the heroes (Michael Keaton/Christian Bale) save the city and kiss the girl (Kim Bassinger, all the time). That means, use a monomeric emulsifier(s) at regular amount, and add Sepigel 305 at low amount (if needed, to boost stability and thickness).

Thanks Paprik. Stickiness is unfortunately not formula dependent. Conditioners, thickening agents etc help little.

@chemicalmatt, thanks for stating the obvious. @Graillotion- I appreciate your suggestion. So Rapidgel EZ1 is PEG-6 (and) AMP-Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer. Do you have experience with it - is it supposed to work better, i .e. not give you that sticky feel on the skin?

@ketchito, what monomeric emulsifiers would you (kindly) suggest I try? Thanks Much. PS. Loved the cinema/literature references 🙂

@chemicalmatt, that’s what I’ll probably do if I can’t find a solution. But I would like to *find* a solution. -

@mix5 You could try with the universal PEG-100 stearate/Glyceryl stearate as a main emulsifier….and add a bit of Sepigel 305 at the end of the process, to increase both viscosity and stability.
