Thanks Aaron. It is really a general introduction of the product. I agree with your comment.
Aaron Gilkison (X) Sep 18, 2009:
not greasy / not oily I agree with Karcsy, but I wanted to add that it really depends on the context.

It sounds like your phrase is from a commercial, or an advertisement and is not a description of the product.

If that is indeed the case, then I would say that non-oily or non-greasy sound too technical.

It might be better to say 'not greasy' or 'not oily.' It sounds more like what we would say in a commercial.
