INCI names: HYALURONIC ACID | SODIUM HYALURONATE
Origin
Hyaluronic acid is a high-molecular natural substance, which today is largely obtained biotechnologically. Chemically, it belongs to the substance class of glucosaminoglycans. In aqueous solution, it forms highly hydrated balls with large cavities.
Effect
The most outstanding property is the exceptionally high water-binding capacity – higher than any other substance – combined with the formation of highly viscous aqueous solutions, even at very low concentrations.
These solutions leave a highly hydrated, viscoelastic film on the skin that exceeds all known effects of a very good humectant (moisturizer) for hours. The hyaluronic acid film is permeable to air and does not hinder skin breathing. It gives the skin a clearly recognizable feeling of improved smoothness, suppleness and elasticity.
