Hyaluronic acid in cosmetics

Hyaluronic acid is a substance with excellent moisturizing properties and a common component in many cosmetic products. Its secret lies in its ability to attract and retain a large amount of moisture – one molecule can hold up to 1000 water molecules. That’s why hyaluronic acid is considered one of the most effective ingredients in moisturizing creams, serums, and lotions.

Approximately half of the body’s total hyaluronic acid volume is concentrated in the skin. As we age, the body produces less hyaluronic acid, causing the skin to lose its ability to maintain proper hydration levels.

Insufficiently moisturized skin is more susceptible to adverse environmental factors such as: temperature changes, polluted urban air, daily makeup, and sun exposure. Loss of moisture not only leads to dryness but also reduces the skin’s ability to retain its shape – resulting in loss of turgor and elasticity, leading to sagging and dehydrated skin.

As an active component in moisturizing products, hyaluronic acid protects the skin from transepidermal moisture loss and helps maintain the normal function of its own hydrolipidic mantle. This thin water-lipid layer on the surface of the epidermis acts as a shield, protecting the body from the penetration of bacteria, viruses, and harmful substances.

Insufficient hydration causes the hydrolipidic film to thin, making the skin vulnerable, permeable, dry, and flaky. Products containing hyaluronic acid are suitable for intense skin moisturization.

Thanks to its powerful moisturizing ability, hyaluronic acid makes the skin softer, smoother, and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Proper care and the use of products with hyaluronic acid help saturate the skin with moisture and restore a healthy, youthful appearance.

For intense skin hydration, choose natural products with hyaluronic acid from Velurelle.
