Hi Louise,It will thicken your lotion. Drag is a common result of stearic acid - did you use SA? CA may reduce the drag - I'm not sure. I use CA it at a small % in my lotions/creams.
Not that much help! Gina might be able to help. Liz----- Original Message ----- From: "Louise Shing" <louiseshing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi All I'm happy with the lotion I've made but just tweaking a little and would like to make it a little more "glidy". I've read on the Dish forum that adding cetyl alcohol would make the lotion more "glidy" and less drag.Does anyone know if I add cetyl alcohol whether this will provide more glideat the same time I don't want to make the lotion greasy as it's almost perfect at the moment.
