what is sabotaging moisture?
Hello,I had 20 people use it to test 2 different shower gel formulas.
Formula1:
C12-13 ALKYL LACTAT 0,7
PEG 6 CAPRYLIC CAPRIC TRIGLICERID 0,3POLYGUERTENIUM-7 %1 USED. (COMPONENTS FOR MOISTURE AND FOAM)
Formula2:
DEA 2
PEG-7 2
POLYGUERTENIUM- 1 USED.
Formula2 was also found to be more moist. what is the thing that sabotages moisture in the formula? -

You will need to ask again because what you have written makes no sense. For a start, use proper names. POLYGUERTENIUM- 1??? C12-13 ALKYL LACTAT???

Hi @Belassi
I tried 2 different formulation. the 1st formulation dried the skin. ı can not understand the reason for this.
if we look at the ingredients, the moisture of the formula1 should have been higher. I come to this conclusion when I make a comparison.
Formula 1
C12-13 ALKYL LACTAT %0,7
PEG 6 CAPRYLIC CAPRIC TRIGLICERID %0,3POLYGUERTENIUM-7 %1Formula 2
DEA %2

POLYGUERTENIUM-7 %1 -
Can’t you use proper chemical names? I cannot make sense of it.

PEG-7 or PEG-7 something? PEG-7 has no real use in a shower gel, doesn’t foam or anything, but might act as moisturiser (obviously only if you don’t rinse…).DEA is an additive, not a surfactant leaving Polyquaternium-7 as sole cleansing agent in product N°2 = insufficient cleaning = less stripping = higher perceived hydration.But that’s just a wild guess because your INCI nomenclature does need a serious overhaul… -
If my guess of your “PEG 6 CAPRYLIC CAPRIC TRIGLICERID” is the same as what i think it is, then based on my experience, it dried my skin slightly. I’ve not tried the others you have mentioned.
