Stickiness of Gel with AA2G and Reshape Gel

Question

I am formulating a gel using AA2G and Reshape Gel. Will the gel be sticky, especially if I use AA2G at higher concentrations (e.g., 5-10%)? How can I reduce stickiness in this formulation?

AA2G and Reshape Gel Stickiness

Whether a gel made with AA2G and Reshape Gel feels sticky depends on the concentration of AA2G used.

If the concentration of AA2G is between 1-5%, the gel should not feel sticky.
If using a higher concentration of AA2G, such as 5-10%, you can add powder or oil-based emollients to the formula to help reduce stickiness. The LipidSoft group of emollients is recommended for this purpose.

Reshape Gel itself is designed to create a gel texture that is not sticky, even at high viscosity, and spreads easily on the skin.
