Hyaluronic Acid
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar that is naturally produced by the body. Found in high concentrations within the skin, hyaluronic acid is responsible for the skin’s plumpness and volume. Also found in the fluid that surrounds the eyes and joints, hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge that can attract and retain 1,000 times its own weight in water, making it an excellent non-comedogenic hydrating ingredient. Essential for maintaining the skin’s moisture balance, hyaluronic acid also helps smooth skin texture. The skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid declines with age, which is why it’s important to supplement the skin with skincare products that contain this ingredient.
