  Oil and Ester Content of O/W Lotions

  Posted by spadirect on October 11, 2018 at 3:59 am

  What is the general range of the proportion of oil and ester content (range of percentages by weight) you would expect to find in an O/W body lotion formulation?

  Depends on what tactile effect you are looking for, Spadirect, and what oil/ester combo you are working with. Your’s is a VERY broad question!
