Home Cosmetic Science Talk Formulating Sticky Foam Hand Wash

  • Sticky Foam Hand Wash

    Posted by bellamartinez on April 25, 2018 at 9:40 pm

    I’m making a foam hand wash and it feels sticky for a moment after washing and drying my hands. The formula is-

    78% water
    7% sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
    6% aloe vera gel
    5% coco betaine
    2% liquid leucidal
    2% lavender oil

    I’ve ruled the surfactants as being the sticky ingredients. Any ideas on how to make it less sticky?

    why do say the surfactants make this sticky? You have a very low ASM?
