Hyaluronic Acid

INCI

Sodium Hyaluronate

SUMMARY

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that plays a critical role in maintaining moisture, lubrication and tissue health. In skincare, hyaluronic acid is commonly used for its exceptional ability to attract and hold water. It can help hydrate skin, improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by providing intense, long-lasting moisture. Hyaluronic acid is often used in targeted hydration products like eye creams, serums and lotions and as dermal fillers to create volume and plump skin.

ORIGIN

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body, primarily in connective tissues, synovial fluid and skin. In skincare products, it's either created in laboratories or sourced from microbial fermentation specifically for cosmetic and medical use.

SKIN TOLERANCE

Hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated on skin and as a naturally occurring substance in the body, it rarely causes adverse reactions when used.
