Question
Could you please recommend active ingredients and formulation considerations for a back lotion aimed at preventing acne (specifically blackheads and clogged pores) and rash, while also providing moisturizing benefits and having a light, non-sticky texture?
Answer
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.
