  • Soap Effect in Lotion

    I could not eliminate Soap Effect in my formulation despite I am using Ester, CCT and Dimethicone. May be there percentages are low.

    Here is the formulation, I am working on:

    Water q.s.
    Glycerin 5%
    C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate 5%
    C/C Triglycride 4%
    Cetyl Alcohol 3.2%
    Dimethicone-350 2%
    Coconut Oil 2%
    Shea Butter 2%
    GS & PEG-100 Stearate 1.3%
    Fragrance Oil 1%
    PQ-7 0.5%
    Germall Plus 0.5%
    Vitamin E 0.1%
    Di-EDTA 0.1%


    Before adding cool down phase, the pH is 8+
    Adjusting the pH disturbs the texture.

    Shall appreciate some tips.
