    Is there any “as natural as possible” hydrating/defatting ingrediens I can put in my DIY face cleanser that kind of “stick to the skin” even after cleanser is washed away with water?

    You might want to have a look at the natural certification bodies near you. There’s some lists available of chemicals that are registered as natural:

    There are plenty listed as emollients and humectants. Finding one that will stick around will be harder, but you’re probably looking at things like sodium lactate (which I noted features on the list) or glyceryl oleate as featured in Lamesoft PO 65.

    Thank you! I use glyceryl oleate, maybe there are no humectants that will stick around! What about honyequat or something like that?
