**Hyaluronic Acid ELMW (Extra Low Molecular Weight):**
With a molecular weight ranging from 80,000 to 110,000 Daltons, averaging 110,000 Daltons, Hyaluronic Acid ELMW is produced through bacterial fermentation of plant matter. The fermentation process may involve wheat peptones, yeast, and glucose derived from corn. Importantly, the final product does not contain any plant-derived DNA, making it vegan and non-GMO.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a polysaccharide naturally occurring in various tissues, including skin, cartilage, and eyes. It serves as a protective gel between skin cells, acting as a water reservoir. As the aging process unfolds, the skin loses hyaluronic acid, impacting its ability to retain water. The application of new hyaluronic acid may contribute to skin hydration by replenishing the inter-cellular reservoir, elevating moisture levels, and smoothing age lines.
Topically, Hyaluronic Acid exhibits water-storing properties, making it an excellent swelling agent and lubricant. Its incorporation into cosmetics can visibly enhance skin condition. Upon use, it creates a thin, transparent, visco-elastic surface film, preserving the characteristics of youthful and healthy skin, including suppleness, elasticity, and tone.

**INCI:**
Sodium Hyaluronate
HOW TO USE
- Hyaluronic a tendency to clump when added to water. It can be pre-mixed with glycerin prior to adding to water -- this will prevent agglomeration and create a smooth mixture.
- You can also simply add it to your distilled water, cover it and give it some time to hydrate, then mix well. Depending on the amount used, this make 15 minutes to an hour or more.
