Description

Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the body and exists in the skin's epidermis keeping the skin hydrated and supple due to its high water retention ability.

As we age our production naturally decreases and we begin to notice alterations in our skin such as wrinkling or dry skin. Hyaluronic Acid is beneficial for all skin types to help hydrate and visibly restore smoothness of the skin.

Hyaluronic acid has restorative abilities and can boost skin’s moisture content, soothe, and defend against moisture loss. It is capable of holding up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, making it an optimal hydrator for all skin types.

In addition to its function as a superior skin-restoring ingredient, hyaluronic acid also provides an antioxidant defence against environmental assault.

Please note that there are two main sources of Hyaluronic acid the first being animal extracted (from Rooster Combs typically) and the second being bacterial fermentation.  Our material is from bacterial fermentation using glucose that is corn derived to create the hyaluronic acid in a bio-fermentation process.  The product is natural.
