Answer

CC Body Lotion Formula (Non-Sticky, Waterproof)

To create a CC body lotion that is non-sticky and waterproof, you can start with a suitable base and incorporate ingredients that provide the desired properties.

  • Start with a Base: A base like Shower Body Tone Up Lotion is a good starting point. This base is designed to provide a whitening effect (CC effect) and adhere well to the skin, contributing to long-lasting wear and water resistance.
  • Enhance Non-Stickiness and Spreadability: To improve the feel and reduce stickiness, you can add emollients such as LipidSoft™ CC (Cetyl Ethylhexanoate) or LipidSoft™ Cyclo (e.q. Cetiol Ultimate). LipidSoft™ CC is an oil-free emollient that helps formulas spread easily and feels light. LipidSoft™ Cyclo is a volatile emollient that provides a smooth, non-greasy feel and evaporates quickly, similar to Cyclomethicone but without silicone.
  • Water Resistance: The Shower Body Tone Up Lotion base contains ingredients, including Titanium Dioxide, that help the product adhere to the skin and provide some water resistance. Titanium Dioxide also provides the tone-up effect. For enhanced water resistance, you might consider adding film-forming agents, but the base itself offers a good level of adherence.

Formulation Approach:

  1. Use Shower Body Tone Up Lotion as the primary base (e.g., 90-100% as per the base's usage rate).
  2. Add LipidSoft™ CC or LipidSoft™ Cyclo at a suitable percentage (refer to their recommended usage rates, typically 1-20% for LipidSoft™ Cyclo and 1-25% for LipidSoft™ CC) to improve texture, spreadability, and reduce stickiness. You can experiment with the percentage to achieve the desired feel.
  3. You can add other water-soluble or oil-soluble active ingredients as needed (ensure compatibility with the base's pH range of 4-7 for water-soluble ingredients).
  4. Add fragrance if desired.

This approach utilizes a base designed for tone-up and adherence, combined with emollients that enhance the feel and spreadability, resulting in a non-sticky, waterproof CC body lotion.
