Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronan), as a function of raw material, is widely used in cosmetics in the following aspects:
a. Intense Hydration
Hyaluronic acid is highly hydrophilic, meaning it attracts and holds onto water. In fact, just one molecule of hyaluronic acid can bind up to 500 times its own weight in water, helping to keep your skin deeply hydrated.
b. Long-lasting Moisture Barrier
Hyaluronic acid forms a breathable, protective film on the skin’s surface. This not only leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated but also helps shield it from environmental aggressors like bacteria, dust, and UV rays. It intelligently adjusts to different humidity levels—drawing in moisture when the air is dry, and preventing excess moisture loss when humidity is high—so your skin stays balanced and comfortable.
c. Anti-Aging Support
By maintaining optimal moisture in the outer layer of your skin, hyaluronic acid helps soften the stratum corneum, making it easier for nutrients to be absorbed and for waste products to be eliminated. This keeps your skin healthy, smooth, and looking youthful, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and other signs of aging
