Solutions for High-Oil Cream Stickiness and Stability

Creating a cream with a high oil content (30-60%) can indeed lead to challenges with stickiness and stability, as the high oil phase inherently contributes to a heavier feel. While it's difficult to eliminate stickiness entirely at such high oil levels, certain ingredients can significantly improve the texture and reduce the greasy sensation.

Here are some ingredients that can help address the issues you're facing:

• Glossy Wax: This ingredient is a liquid oil wax that can be used in various products, including makeup. Its description notes that it helps reduce the stickiness of the formula while adding shine.

• LipidSoft™ Fix: This modified ester is designed to improve formula stability, particularly in high-oil content systems, and helps prevent separation. It can also help improve the texture and reduce stickiness, especially in makeup formulations.

• AllSlip-P™: This powder ingredient is used to impart a soft, smooth feel to the skin, similar to silicones but without being a silicone. Incorporating a powder like this can help absorb some oiliness on the skin surface and provide a smoother, less sticky finish.

• Silicone Bright: This silicone provides a soft, smooth, and non-sticky feel. It can help improve the spreadability and sensory feel of the cream, making it feel less heavy and greasy.

• LipidSoft™ Lux: While not specifically for reducing stickiness, this plant-derived ester provides a luxurious feel and good texture, which can improve the overall user experience of a high-oil cream.

Using a combination of these ingredients, particularly those that improve feel and stability, can help you achieve a more pleasant texture for your high-oil cream formulation. The optimal percentage for each ingredient will depend on your specific formula and desired feel.
