- Description
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of all human body tissues, accounting for up to 50% of the skin's volume. It is responsible for the skin's ability to retain water, and consequently, for its suppleness, elasticity... in short, a beautiful appearance. As we age, the concentration of acid in the skin diminishes, leading to skin sagging and the appearance of wrinkles.
The most common form of cosmetic hyaluronic acid is its salt - sodium hyaluronate.
Hyaluronic acid is frequently used as an ingredient in creams, lotions, etc. Unfortunately, it is often added in small amounts, so its effectiveness is quite limited.
Sodium hyaluronate (the salt of hyaluronic acid), with a molecular size of 4.5 kDa, ensures maximum penetration without forming dense solutions.
