Subject: hydrovance

Anyone used this product? I just got a HUGE(20oz) sample from the company. I

guess its similar to liquid poly,Its a moisturizing agent intended to

replace

use of glycerin in lotion & cream formulations. I am gonna test tomorrow.

[Guest guest]

I tested last night. I made simple lotion recipe, SAO, shea, water,stearic

,Ewax...

I added 1 oz hydrovance instead of glycerin, and added 1 TBS of their other

product AMAZE... to water phase... and heated to 165 per their website

instructions...

it made a very silky lotion, almost like B & B works purely silk.... nice

slip, not greasy, lasting... I washed my hands several times and they stayed

feeling nice.... held scent well, i scented with pink sugar... I put some on

this

morning around 9 and can still smell it on my hands...

Hi,

I use Hydrovance in my lotions and creams at 3%. It helps the lotions absorb

into the skin.It helps retain the moisture.If you all decided you don't want it

send it my way LOL. Try it you will like it.

them

[Guest guest]

why do you say that?

youll find urea based products in TONS of stuff in your home. Commercially

produced urea is synthetic.

[Guest guest]

Hydrovance = Hydroxyethyl Urea. is a product put out by National Starch Company,

as a moisturizer and humecant, much the same as glycerin but without the tacky

feel to it. My quess is that it is a synthetic product and not a natural

product like vegetable glycerin is.

It is used in lieu of glycerin when making lotions and creams, and also in

liquid shampoos, and soaps.

If that " Urea " is not an abbreviation I'd definitely avoid using it

Thanks, Kim!

I actually googled it and ended up ordering a sample - it's on the way. I

also asked for the Natrasorb Bath and something else, I can't remember what

it was-

[Guest guest]

I would like to find where to get a sample as well. I just made

some cream soap and Hydrovance was recommended as an optional add in

while I'm letting it set up ..if I had known it before I would have

ordered it. It wouldn't take very much.

Urea is a nitrogen commonly used for fertilizer for corn, which requires alot

of nitrogen. It is used in cosmetics as an antimicrobial. But I go natural

so I wouldn't use it. Marcia

[Guest guest]

to be specific it is a compound, it has nitrogen and carbon and)2 and

hydrogen, natural urea is a waste product, excreted by the kidney most

commercially

used urea is SYNTHETIC it is made from synthetic amonias not human or animal

produced.. so you are not getting something that has someones urine in it.

It is used it many things from plasticm fertilizer, rock salt to browning

agent in BAKING!! its used in medicines as a diuretic.

there are dozens of UREA formulas for different applications ,

Imidazolidinyl urea is toxic and a carcinogen and was used in cosmetics some

time ago. urea

percarbamide is the " antimicrobial " type you might see in a cosmetic... the

hydrovance is Hydroxyethyl Urea , a moisturizing agent.

[Guest guest]

Oh glad you found it Traci! I love Natrasorb, btw. Can’t live with out it

now!! LOL
