Well…in order to test the theory of humectants….make a small batch without the Propylene glycol, (and without the glycerin) and see if you still sweat.

Done that already and it’s still the same thing. I’m guessing it the e wax

Has anyone else tried your product…and gotten the same result?

 Just my younger sister sweats with it. But my older sister doesn’t sweat at all.

You did not mention time of application (related to bathing), and the humidity of your environment?

I live on the wet side of Hawaii….where humidity is often above 90%.  I find it is simply the humectants being effective….that I get what appears to be sweat…if I apply immediately after showering, on a humid day.

I know from chats with other members in places like Singapore, they have to limit or monitor humectant levels, to reflect their environment.

If you live in a dry climate….you can pile them on.  If you live in a very humid climate…they will do their job…..in excess!  

Well I live in Nigeria and it’s very hot here. I apply it right after bathing. I made a small batch 2days ago without glycerin and still got the sweating. Could it be my location?

You can do that.

But the important question is what are you trying to accomplish? What kind of formula are you trying to make

I’m trying to make a lotion. Someone said it could be the emulsifier that’s making me sweat.

I’d recommend you try a version with no essential oils in and see if that solves the issue.

I’ll try that

Sounds like an allergic reaction to something. It could also be the preservative. What are you using?

I’m using liquid germall plus.
Got the same thing too from optihen plus

@LincsChemist tea tree and I later switched to carrot seed oil.
