Reducing Slippery Feel in Shower Gel

To reduce the slippery feeling on the skin after using shower gel and improve the comfortable feel, you can consider adding ingredients that provide a smoother, less tacky finish after rinsing.

One ingredient specifically designed for this purpose in water-based gel formulations is WaterSil™ 8/12 (Water Gel Detackifier). This blend of silicones helps to reduce the adhesive interaction between the gel and the skin, leaving a silky-smooth sensation without tackiness after rinsing. It is compatible with common thickeners and surfactants used in cleansing products.

While the primary function of Ceteareth-60 Myristyl Glycol is as a rheology modifier to thicken and clarify cleansing systems, the choice of surfactants in your formulation also significantly impacts the post-wash skin feel. Using milder surfactant systems or incorporating conditioning agents can contribute to a more comfortable feel after showering.

For reducing the specific slippery/tacky feel after rinsing, ingredients like WaterSil™ 8/12 are particularly effective.
