Does anyone have experience with Colloidal Oatmeal Lotion formulation for eczema?
-
@ketchito - agreed. On the plus side, consumers are not really that good at telling differences so matching performance isn’t really necessary if you have other aspects of the aesthetics right (fragrance, appearance, packaging)

Hi there just a comment on adding the Colloidal Oatmeal - I just weigh out and add this in the oil phase ingredients (it doesnt dissolve but it doesnt turn gloopy or clump like it can if you add to water phase). It might not be right technically but it works for me and is easily incorporated when you emulsify the phases. I also add EDTA to the Water phase (much cheaper for me that Sodium Phytate if cost is an issue).

@ketchito Is that patented by p&g?
If yes, do you know which patent it is so i can have a look.
-
@Abdullah There are actually many patents issued by P&G around the same SH backbone, with few changes. Try using Google patents, and write: procter shampoo lamellar. You’ll see many entries.

@PhilGeis Thank you for the advice. I was thinking of choosing Saligerm G-2 but I ended up going with 1% Jeecide AA instead. I didn’t like the idea of FA donors in a leave-on product that would be used at least twice daily.

In my most recent batches, I start by dispersing it in 10% of the water (instead of the original 20%) and letting it mix while I start on the rest of the formula. In the cooldown phase around 55C I add it in and homogenize for 15 minutes. Thankfully it seems to be fully dispersed and I haven’t had any issues with clumping.
