Oh, I made my second batch with natragem ew (PR gift) and I propably prefer that over the first one. It soaps less and feels lighter which makes the cream perfect for all-body application. It lacks the moisturizing feel that olivem1000 delievers. It’s been fascinating to test new emulsifiers. Many thanks for sharing this!

I just made this – it doesn’t soap actually. Slight waxy feeling initially but it disappears quickly. That might be me and my swapping disorder tho, I increased stearic acid to 2.5 because I wanted some urea and wanted to keep the viscosity, and added some glycerin and aquaxyl. It’s a lovely recipe. Do you find you still need dimethicone even with some esters included?
