Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 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...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 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.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 why do you say that? youll find urea based products in TONS of stuff in your home. Commercially produced urea is synthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. hth, Sherry Natural Care E-books, booklets, spreadsheets www.herbalsoap-healingcreams.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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- Traci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. > I wanna know too.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 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.
