Hyaluronic acid
At a glance: A moisture champion that can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water.
Origin: Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the human body, especially in the skin, joints, and eyes. For cosmetic products, it is often obtained today through fermentation by certain bacteria, which complies with ecoCert standards.
Characteristics:
- Strong water binding capacity (can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water)
- Moisturizing
- Non-comedogenic
- Well tolerated by all skin types
Effect on the skin:
- Intensifies moisture in all skin layers
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Strengthens the skin barrier
- Provides plumper, smoother skin
- Supports wound healing
Different molecular sizes:
- High molecular weight hyaluronic acid: Works on the skin's surface and forms a moisture film.
- Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid: Can penetrate deeper into the skin and provide moisture there.
Ideal for: All skin types, especially dry, dehydrated and mature skin, as well as in cases of environmental stress.
Sustainability aspect: The hyaluronic acid obtained through fermentation is an environmentally friendly alternative to animal sources and meets the ecological standards for sustainable cosmetics.
