Reducing Stickiness and Greasiness in Snail Secretion Cream
Question
I am making a Snail Secretion cream, but the feeling after applying it is sticky and quite greasy. What ingredients can I add to fix this?
Answer
How to Reduce Stickiness and Greasiness in Snail Secretion Cream
To address the sticky and greasy feeling in your snail secretion cream formulation, you can incorporate ingredients designed to improve the sensory feel of the product on the skin.
Based on your needs, consider adding the following:
WaterSil™ 8/12 (Water Gel Detackifier): This ingredient is specifically designed to reduce tackiness in water-based gel and cream formulations. It helps to provide a silky-smooth sensation and effortless glide during application, leaving a non-sticky after-feel. It is compatible with various thickeners and gelling agents commonly used in creams.
- Usage Rate: 0.1-3%
- Mixing Method: Mix into the water phase.
Glass Moist™ (Oil-Free Glass Skin, 3 Day Fast Action): While primarily a moisturizer, Glass Moist™ is oil-free and designed to provide a non-oily, healthy skin finish. It can help improve the overall feel of the cream, making it less greasy.
- Usage Rate: 1-20% (recommended 15% for quick results)
- Mixing Method: Mix in the final step, avoiding heat.
By incorporating one or both of these ingredients, you can significantly improve the texture and reduce the undesirable sticky and greasy sensation of your snail secretion cream, resulting in a more pleasant user experience.
