Water-Based Serum for Slip and Non-Stickiness

To create a water-based serum that feels smooth and non-sticky, avoiding silicones and esters, you can consider using water-soluble emollients. Based on the properties, WaterLube™ Slip is particularly suitable for this purpose.

• WaterLube™ Slip (Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer): This ingredient is specifically designed to reduce the sticky feel in water-based gel formulations and provide a smooth, gliding sensation (slip). It is an excellent choice for achieving a non-greasy, smooth finish in your serum while keeping the formula clear.

  • Recommended Usage: 0.1-5.0%. Start with a lower percentage and adjust as needed to achieve the desired skin feel.

• WaterSoft™ (PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer): This is another water-soluble emollient that provides softness and smoothness in water-based formulas. While also effective, WaterLube Slip is more specifically targeted at addressing stickiness and enhancing slip.

  • Recommended Usage: 1-10%.

For your goal of reducing stickiness and maximizing slip in a water-based serum without silicones or esters, WaterLube™ Slip is the most appropriate choice.
