This is sort of an unusual question (and I'm not even sure this is the right forum for it) but here goes. I'm doing a project where theoretically a human would be kept immersed in a liquid for long periods of time and I'm wondering what liquid would be the best for this. The most obvious choice would be water, but long term exposure to water causes skin irritation because water removes the surface layer of oil off the skin that normally locks in moisture so when the person got out of the water the skin would feel extremely dry. I'm curious if anyone knows of a liquid, or maybe a gel-like material, that doesn't cause this and is safe enough for direct contact with skin for extended periods?
