Basic Lotion with Simulgel EG

If you’re looking for a quick lotion you can make in under 10 minutes, you’ll want to give this a try! In this basic lotion from Susan Barclay Nichol’s e-Zine 10 minute emulsions with SEPILIFE™ NUDE and SIMULGEL™ EG, you’ll notice the addition of humectants that will draw water to your skin and hydrate it. You can use a variety of humectants but need to avoid electrolytes that will destabilize the emulsion, for instance sodium hyaluronate, sodium lactate, or sodium PCA are not suitable. Alternatively, you can use glycols or other humectants, like galactoarabinan, Fision® Hydrate, Lipomoist 2036, and others that are non-ionic or anionic (negatively charged).
