  • soaping prevention - Non silicone

    Posted by Shams on December 16, 2021 at 9:53 pm

    Hi everyone,

    Did anyone come across an ingredient that can decrease soaping of the lotion( White-rub ) on the skin? Apart from silicones please.
    I tried adding a low HLB emulsifier (GMS) to my lotion, it helped very slightly but I still don’t love it.
    Any success with an alternative to silicones to prevent this soaping?
    TIA

    You will need to post your entire formula.  It can be caused by so many things.  Reducing the amount of emulsifier might be the best/easiest option.
