Formulating Tip: HYA can be pre-dispersed in glycerin or propylene glycol and then added to the water phase with mixing to reduce probability of forming clumps. Once it is fully hydrated, the resulting solution can be heated if necessary for the inclusion of actives.
It can also be added to distilled water, and left alone for some time (hours) to hydrate, then mix well.
Or add it to water and use a stick (immersion) blender to blend it until thick
