**CAS No. 9067-32-7**
This particular Hyaluronic Acid boasts the highest molecular weight in our range, measuring between 1.0 to 1.5 Million Daltons. Produced through bacterial fermentation of plant matter, which may include wheat peptones, yeast, and glucose derived from corn, this Hyaluronic Acid does not contain any plant-derived DNA. It is proudly labeled as vegan and non-GMO.
**Hyaluronic Acid (HA):**
HA, a polysaccharide, is naturally present in every tissue of the body, with concentrations peaking in areas such as skin, cartilage, and eyes. It acts as a protective gel between skin cells, serving as a water reservoir. As aging progresses, the skin experiences a decline in hyaluronic acid, leading to reduced water retention in this reservoir. The application of new hyaluronic acid may contribute to skin hydration, elevating moisture levels, and smoothing age lines.
Topically, Hyaluronic Acid showcases water-storing properties, making it an ideal swelling agent and lubricant. Its inclusion in cosmetics results in a noticeable improvement in skin condition. Upon application, it forms 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 Acid has 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 take 1 to 4 hours to completely hydrate.
- When making a larger volume, you can also add it to water and use a stick (immersion) blender to blend it until thick
