Description
HawkGrips HawkHydro Gel Emollient is the water-based alternative to the oil-based house emollient, in a squeezable 4 oz bottle. Clinicians who tape right after treatment reach for it because it wipes off with a towel instead of demanding soap and water.
- Wipes Clean for Taping – The water-based gel removes with a simple wipe, so skin is ready for tape application without a wash break.
- Cupping Seal Support – The formula provides an optimal seal during cupping therapy, holding suction more effectively.
- Squeezable 4 oz Bottle – The hygienic bottle minimizes cross-contamination risk and travels well for field and clinic use.
HawkHydro Water-Based Gel for Integrated Treatments
Oil-based mediums give great glide and one recurring problem: the skin has to be washed before tape will stick. HawkHydro is HawkGrips' water-based answer, a soft tissue massage gel that wipes off so treatment can flow straight into taping, cupping or the next modality. Cupping practitioners use it because the water-based formula seals well under the cups and supports suction through the session. The squeezable 4 oz bottle keeps application clean and portioned, at home in the clinic or the field kit. It pairs with the HawkGrips cupping set and instrument sets for integrated treatments, and it is made in the USA.

Why Choose HawkHydro Over Oil-Based Emollient
Oil-based emollient wins on glide and loses on workflow when taping follows treatment. HawkHydro trades a little glide for a wipe-clean finish and a superior cupping seal, in the manufacturer's own formulation. For integrated sessions, that trade is the difference.
- Tape-Ready Skin – A towel wipe replaces the soap and water wash, saving minutes in every taping workflow.
- Better Cupping Seal – The water-based formula is built to hold suction, which oil residues undermine.
- Cleaner Dispensing – The squeezable bottle portions gel without open jars, supporting hygiene at the table.
- Made for the System – HawkHydro is formulated to pair with HawkGrips instruments and cups in one session.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is HawkHydro different from the regular emollient?
HawkHydro is water-based, while the standard HawkGrips emollient is oil-based. The water-based gel wipes off easily for taping transitions, where oil-based products need soap and water removal.
Can HawkHydro be used for cupping?
Yes, its water-based formula provides an optimal seal during cupping therapy. It is designed to pair with the HawkGrips Cupping Set.
What size is the bottle?
The squeezable bottle holds 4 oz of gel. The format minimizes cross-contamination and travels well.
Is it good for IASTM?
Yes, it works as a soft tissue massage gel and muscle scraping gel for instrument work. Clinicians choose it when the session continues into taping or cupping.
Where is it made?
HawkGrips makes HawkHydro in the USA. It complements the oil-based emollient rather than replacing it for every case.
