Humectant Comparison in Lotion, Hydrovance

Today we are making the test batch with Hydrovance. As a humectant, Hydrovance is a fluid, non-sticky humectant that helps skin keep moisturized for long periods of time.

I decided to test the humectant directly on my skin to add more notes about the feeling on my skin. Hydrovance is very fluid and clear in appearance, water-like in viscosity. Rubbing the Hydrovance into my skin, I felt a silky and gliding feel on the skin. I continued rubbing and the feeling changed to a velvety texture. I enjoyed the velvety feel that stayed without leaving a sticky residue on my hands, even after washing my hands!

Let’s head off to try out the recipe using Hydrovance as our humectant!
