May I state the obvious: stop using Sepigel. 
@chemicalmatt, that’s what I’ll probably do if I can’t find a solution.  But I would like to *find* a solution.

@mix5 Sepigel 305 is a great Robin (Chris O’Donnel), a good Sancho (Panza), a nice Melania (yikes!)….but let the heroes (Michael Keaton/Christian Bale) save the city and kiss the girl (Kim Bassinger, all the time). That means, use a monomeric emulsifier(s) at regular amount, and add Sepigel 305 at low amount (if needed, to boost stability and thickness).

@ketchito, what monomeric emulsifiers would you (kindly) suggest I try?  Thanks Much.  PS.  Loved the cinema/literature references

What would you replace it with? RAPIDGEL EZ1? 

@chemicalmatt, thanks for stating the obvious.  @Graillotion-  I appreciate your suggestion.  So Rapidgel EZ1 is PEG-6 (and) AMP-Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer.  Do you have experience with it - is it supposed to work better, i .e. not give you that sticky feel on the skin?

Hello and welcome.

You would need to share your whole formula mate. Otherwise we won’t be able to help you.

Thanks Paprik.  Stickiness is unfortunately not formula dependent.  Conditioners, thickening agents etc help little.
