Recommended Active Ingredients

Here are some active ingredients you can consider for your moisturizing back lotion to help prevent acne and rash, while achieving a light, non-sticky texture:

• For Acne Prevention (Blackheads and Clogged Pores):

  • ActiveRelease™ Salicylic Acid (Powder, Water-Soluble): This is a water-soluble form of Salicylic Acid (BHA) that is suitable for leave-on lotion formulas. It helps to exfoliate skin cells and dissolve clogged pores. Its timed-release characteristic makes it gentle on the skin.

• For Rash Prevention:

  • Portulaca Extract (Purified Colorless Liquid): This extract is known for its effectiveness in reducing skin irritation, making it a good choice for preventing rash.

• For Moisturizing and Texture:

  • MOIST24: A humectant that provides long-lasting moisture and can help improve the texture of the lotion, making it feel soft and non-sticky.
  • TransMoist™ (PPG-24-Glycereth-24): Offers moisturizing benefits and helps the formula absorb into the skin faster, contributing to a lighter feel.
  • Advanced Moisture Complex: A comprehensive moisturizing complex that softens the skin and helps prevent water loss, suitable for providing good hydration without excessive richness.

To achieve the desired light and non-sticky lotion texture, the choice of your primary emulsifier and additional emollients will also be crucial in your formulation process.
