  cucumber peel off face mask

  Posted by vinitaj3 on February 4, 2014 at 12:50 pm

  I have found several base formulas for cucumber peel off face masks.

  All of them use Poly Vinyl Alcohol as the film former (which later can be peeled off when dries)

  I did my home work and found out that I need to use a certain grade (PVA-224)

  I haven’t been able to find a proper supplier for this grade of PVA for skincare applications.

  Kindly help me out.

  Selvol has different grades, Kuraray is there and think Du Pont has it too. Try them, I found Selvol very cooperative. You can put your request thru Innovadex, quite a site.

  Kuraray refused to send me some saying their PVA was not for medical purposes.
