Hello, I recently had a lotion produced. After using it for about 2 weeks, the results are quite good. However, the issue is with the product texture. It is very liquid, and when applied to the skin, it feels like it coats the skin. It takes a long time to absorb into the skin, is sticky and tacky. When showering, it feels like washing off something slippery. I probably cannot use it outside of an air-conditioned room. I want the product texture to feel like a normal lotion. How can I fix this? The ingredients are as follows: 1. Sweet Almond Oil (Refined) 5.00 2. Z-White™ 1.00 3. Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Switzerland) 5.00 4. GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine) 4.00 5. Clover Flower Extract (Biochanin A 98%) 0.50 6. Licorice Extract (Glabridin 4.5%, Water-Soluble) 2.00 7. VersaMoist™ (PEG/PPG-14/7 Dimethyl Ether) 2.00 8. Mild Preserved Eco™ (Preservative-Free) 1.00 9. Activated Resorcinol™ 1.00 10. Satin Cream Maker™ 1.50 11. Xanthan Gum (ชนิดเจลใส, เนื้อเนียนไม่ยืด) 0.50 12. Isopentyldiol 5.00 13. ActiveProtec™ OX 1.00 14. Laureth-23 2.00 15. Ethyl Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C Ethyl Ether) 2.00 16. Chance (compare to Chanel) 1.00 17. น้ำกลั่น ปราศจากเชื้อ 59.50 18. Glycerin 99.5% 4.00 19.
