Hyaluronic acid – why do you want this in your cosmetics
Hyaluronic acid is an essential building block of skin.
It’s what makes up the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that keeps the skin hydrated.
It also holds onto water like a sponge, which prevents water loss and dehydration.
When hyaluronic acid is deficient, it leaves the skin dry and scaly with fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body.
As people age, their natural levels of hyaluronic acid diminish.
Sun exposure, smoking, pollution and genetics are other factors that accelerate the loss.
Cosmetics companies have tried to replace hyaluronic acid in skin products with fillers like silicones or water-binding polymers
that don’t last as long or penetrate into skin as deeply as true hyaluronic acid.
According to a study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science (2007),
volunteers who used a cream containing 1% hyaluronic acid showed visible improvements within 20 days for fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture and firmness.
The custom formula is designed with non-animal sourced hyaluronic acid,
which has been purified from licorice root.
The hyaluronic acid is then processed into a stable, cosmetic grade material that is free of irritants and preservatives.
Hyaluronic Acid Benefits In Manufacturing:
In general, hyaluronic acid is stable in an aqueous solution at room temperature and pH levels ranging from 2 to 12.
Hyaluronic acid’s ability to absorb an incredible 1,000 times its weight in water makes it a great choice for emulsions
its strong affinity for water can be utilized in droplets of low surface tension.
holds lipids in suspension to prevent oil loss during production.
This ability makes it useful in creams for wrinkle reduction and other cosmetics.
naturally anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and an effective moisturizer.
can be used for barriers, absorbents, dispersants, gels, emulsifiers and plasticizers.
Hyaluronic Acid Benefits In Cosmetics:
The importance of hyaluronic acid in keeping your skin looking smooth and younger is beyond dispute.
Hyaluronic acid is used in many cosmetics and isn’t just found in older women.
It also helps with:
One of the world’s most popular and potent wrinkle treatments,
Botox, works by paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles.
It uses a brand new kind of botulinum toxin that can be broken down into tiny particles that go into the skin and then dissolve.
Botox doesn’t work on wrinkles caused by sun damage or other factors.
This means it probably won’t make your skin look younger, like it does with some other treatments.
What makes hyaluronic acid so special?
Hyaluronic acid’s benefits come from its natural properties allowing it to:
The extreme hydration helps skin feel smoother and softer without destroying the effect of the Botox.
It also means you don’t need to use as much botulinum toxin, which may be a good thing for you and your doctor.
How does it work?
The formula is drawn from a proprietary extract of licorice root and processed into a stable,
cosmetic grade material that is free of irritants and preservatives.
It’s applied topically as a cream with antioxidants, which are included to help your skin look younger.
Like botox, this formula also contains Vitamin B3 to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,
stimulate collagen production and increase skin firmness.
The results are immediate!
Application of the product was described by participants as “cooling” and “tingling” which is normal for this type of product.
The difference between this product and other hyaluronic acid products on the market is the lack of fillers.
has been processed in a way that makes it safe for use in cosmetics.
Other forms of hyaluronic acid are often extracted from animal sources, which contain many other substances that may be harmful to your skin.
This formula is made with licorice root, which is completely vegetarian and free of animal by-products.
The active ingredients are then blended with vitamins B3 to help decrease fine lines and renew the skin’s youthful appearance.
The hyaluronic acid spacer has been developed for use in cosmetic applications.
This patented process allows the hyaluronic acid to be purified, clarified and sterilized.
The resulting spacer particles are virtually free of impurities and other material, and because of their size and surface properties,
they disperse and diffuse very rapidly into aqueous media.
Spacer particles can be further refined into smaller sizes that still remain effective
while significantly reducing the cost associated with the manufacture of this product.

Products containing polysaccharide hyaluronic acid have been shown to contribute anti-aging properties to skin by increasing skin hydration levels.
The products are designed to increase moisture retention in the skin, which has been demonstrated by clinical studies.
It has also been demonstrated that high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid can be used for this purpose in a topical cosmetic product.
