Hyaluronic acid
List of products
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the most popular substances used in cosmetics and skin care products. It is a natural component found in the human body, mainly in the skin, connective tissue and synovial fluid. Its main function is to bind water, which makes it responsible for moisturizing, elasticity and young appearance of the skin.
The effect of hyaluronic acid in cosmetics
-
Moisturizing – Hyaluronic acid can bind water in an amount up to 1000 times greater than its mass, which intensely moisturizes the skin.
-
Smoothing of wrinkles – Thanks to its moisturizing properties, it improves skin elasticity, which optically reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Regeneration and healing – It accelerates the skin repair processes, which is beneficial for irritation or acne.
-
Protection against external factors – It creates a barrier to prevent excessive water loss and protects against contamination.
Types of hyaluronic acid in cosmetics

High molecular weight HA – It creates a protective layer on the skin, retaining water, but does not penetrate deep into it.
