Tips for Mixing Hyaluronic Acid Liquid into PVA Mask

Okay, I understand the issue. Adding a thick, gel-like ingredient like the Double Hyaluron Liquid directly into a hot, already viscous PVA solution can indeed cause it to clump and not disperse properly.

Based on the product description for Double Hyaluron Liquid, it is a liquid type that dissolves easily in water and should be mixed into the water phase directly. The issue is likely the temperature and viscosity of the heated PVA solution.

Here are a couple of suggestions for incorporating the Double Hyaluron Liquid into your PVA peel-off mask formulation:

• Mix into the water phase first: Instead of heating the PVA with all the water first, try dissolving the Double Hyaluron Liquid into a portion of the water before adding the PVA. Then, add the PVA to this mixture and heat gently to dissolve the PVA. This allows the Hyaluronic Acid to disperse fully in the water before the solution becomes thick with dissolved PVA.
• Cool the PVA solution: If you must dissolve the PVA in hot water first, allow the PVA solution to cool down significantly before adding the Double Hyaluron Liquid. Once the PVA solution is cooler and less viscous, the Hyaluronic Acid liquid may disperse more easily with stirring.
• Disperse separately: You could also try dispersing the Double Hyaluron Liquid in a small amount of cool water or another compatible liquid ingredient from your formula (if any) before slowly adding this dispersion to the cooled PVA solution while stirring continuously.

Adding the Double Hyaluron Liquid when the PVA solution is hot and thick prevents it from hydrating and dispersing correctly, leading to the clumping you observed. Incorporating it into a cooler or less viscous water phase should help achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.
