Hyaluronic Acid, where is it found?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is present in our body tissues and fluids. It is found, for example, in the vitreous humor of the eye and the synovial fluid of joints, where it allows bone surfaces to slide. The skin is the largest reservoir.
Above all, at the level of the dermis, hyaluronic acid is less concentrated at the level of the epidermis.
Essential for maintaining the structure of the skin's layers, just like collagen which gives it firmness, hyaluronic acid nourishes and hydrates collagen.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid for the skin?
Did you know that a hyaluronic acid serum is a way to combat dehydrated skin? According to Harvard-trained dermatologist Michelle Henry, it works by trapping water in the tissues like a sponge. The hyaluronic acid molecule can bind and attract up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
By combining with water, hyaluronic acid fills the intercellular spaces, which contributes to its exceptional hydrating power and results in long-lasting beauty. The skin becomes soft, smooth, elastic and toned.
“It’s a sugar found in our skin that naturally depletes with age, so it’s important to incorporate it into your skincare routine through topical products,” says dermatologist Orit Markowitz.
The main properties of hyaluronic acid
On the skin:
- Powerful moisturizing fluid: hydrates, rehydrates and limits dehydration.
- Acts on the skin's radiance: illuminates the complexion.
- Hydration booster: the skin is filled with water under its effect.
- Treatment for all skin types, especially recommended for dehydrated, devitalized skin lacking radiance.
The skin is deeply hydrated, energized, and more toned. Use as a "care base" just after floral water: apply a few drops to the palm of your hand and massage until the product is absorbed. Seal in the hydration with your serum.
On the hair:
- To hydrate and smooth them.
100% natural, pure & active doesn't mean we're immune to allergic reactions. If in doubt, test the product on the inside of your arm before use.
