Hyaluronic Acid

– INCI Name: HIALURONIC ACID

– Origin: Natural

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the skin and connective tissue, renowned for its extraordinary ability to retain water. In cosmetics, it is used for its powerful moisturising, filling and protective properties.

Properties of Hyaluronic Acid for Topical Use:

 

1. Deep hydration: Able to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it keeps skin intensely hydrated, supple and healthy-looking.

2. Filling effect: The extract has an astringent effect that can help tone the skin and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. This makes it useful in products for combination or oily skin, as it can balance sebum production.

3. Improves elasticity: Helps to soothe inflamed or reddened skin, alleviating conditions such as eczema or dermatitis.

4. Skin barrier protection: Strengthens the skin’s barrier function, preventing transepidermal water loss and protecting it from dehydration.

5. Soothing action: Helps to relieve tightness and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.

Hyaluronic acid is a key ingredient in moisturising, anti-wrinkle and repairing formulations, widely used in products designed to keep skin young, radiant and healthy.
