Is the baby shampoo reef-safe? I'm hoping to keep my product costs down, without either struggling to get into my (new) open-cell suit, drying out my skin with soap, or putting anything nasty in the water...Probably the same fish oil as sold expensive at the drug stores!
I just bought a new bottle of baby shampoo as suit lube (I always cry when I get shampoo in my eyes..), but looking at the ingredients it's mostly glycerin. So next order will be a big bottle of that, see how it works.
I read some old post about a brand using methyl cellulose. The stuff used as wallpaper paste (or bread improving agent). It mixes well with cold water and gets quite slippery. Could this have been it?

There's a product called "Slippy" for wetsuit lubing, mixed with water. The exact same composition alternative is any old non scented powdered sex or medical lube which are all polyethylene oxide based. I have been using these for years now and laugh at people struggling with soaps still. I feel entitled to chuckle due to the occasional judgemental looks whenever I tell people to just find some bulk sex lube powder and have at it. Breaks down in contact with salt water and doesn't damage your suit, or the environment.
