Description
Our 1% Hyaluronic Acid is a pre-mixed solution that can be used as a ‘stock’ ingredient—ready to go into a formula—or applied directly to the skin. The molecular weight of this solution is considered MMW.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is naturally present in human tissues such as skin, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It acts as a connective tissue 'organiser' and helps to hold water. HA is found in both layers of the skin where it has a protective, structure-stabilising and shock-absorbing function. About a third of the total amount of HA in the entire human body is found in the skin.
As we age, the content of HA in the skin decreases, which may contribute to loss of freshness, hydration, moisture, and elasticity in the skin and the development of wrinkles. This may be resolved by adding commercially produced HA to cosmetic products. Its ability to penetrate the skin and unique moisturising and viscoelastic (both viscous and elastic) properties soften the skin and restore its elasticity, contributing a significant anti-wrinkle effect.
