H.A. is a Natural Substance:

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, and joints. 

It's also acts as a Humectant:

It's a powerful humectant, meaning it attracts and retains water, which is crucial for keeping tissues hydrated. 

Helps greatly with skin's Hydration:

Approximately 50% of the body's total hyaluronic acid is found in the skin, playing a vital role in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. . 

Aids in wound Healing:

Hyaluronic acid can also help with wound healing by promoting moisture retention and supporting tissue regeneration. 

Provides Supple Hydration:

Hyaluronic acid is a key ingredient in many skincare products because of its ability to hydrate the skin, making it appear plumper and smoother. When you first apply- it can even feel like a drink for your skin!

Anti-aging:

By keeping the skin well-hydrated, hyaluronic acid can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to an anti-aging effect. 

Smoother skin texture:

The intense hydration provided by hyaluronic acid can help smooth out rough texture, giving the skin a velvety and silky-smooth feel. 

Supports Skin Barrier Function:

Hyaluronic acid helps maintain the skin's natural barrier function, which shields the skin from external pollutants, irritants, and pathogens. 

Aids in Wound Healing:

Hyaluronic acid can also help with wound healing by promoting moisture retention and supporting tissue regeneration. 

So how does Hyaluronic Acid work?

Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent hydrator.  H.A. can penetrate the skin and bind water to skin cells, infusing all layers of the skin with moisture. By retaining moisture, hyaluronic acid helps keep the skin hydrated and prevents it from drying out. 

While hyaluronic acid (HA) is a powerful humectant that attracts and binds water to the skin, it's important to lock in its hydrating affects with emollients to prevent it from drying out.

Furthermore, it’s easy to forget this rule but it’s very Important! As hyaluronic acid is a humectant, it’s essentially a moisture magnet, which means it draws moisture to itself rather indiscriminately, helping bind it to your skin and prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

If applied to dry skin, your H.A. will draw moisture from your skin—and leave it drier than when you started. Skin doesn’t have to be soaking wet to avoid this phenomenon, lightly misted is perfect! =)
