Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide and consists of a long chain of repeating disaccharide building blocks. A hyaluronic acid chain can consist of up to 50,000 of these building blocks. The individual chains attract each other and thus form a close-meshed network. Like a kind of sponge, hyaluronic acid is therefore able to bind and store large quantities of water.

Our body uses this property to produce hyaluronic acid itself and use it precisely where a lot of water needs to be retained, for example in the eye or in the joints. However, it is most abundant in the intercellular spaces of the skin. Here it forms a gel-like matrix in the dermis, in which collagen fibers and fibroblasts are embedded. Together with these proteins, hyaluronic acid is responsible for structure and elasticity.

Hyaluronic acid gives you valuable moisture and a fresh complexion. With our light hyaluronic acid Concentrate you nourish your skin and help it to transport more Actives directly into the deeper layers of the skin.

To balance your moisture levels, we use 1.4% hyaluronic acid in a balanced mixture of three molecule sizes (high, medium and low molecular weight). The smaller the molecule, the deeper it can penetrate the skin and develop its water-retaining effect. Together with aloe vera, hyaluronic acid can gradually plump up fine lines and wrinkles. Use our hyaluronic acid Concentrate regularly and in a variety of ways, as your skin will always appreciate extra moisture. Combine it directly with a serum and channel the good Actives deep into your skin.

Hyaluronic acid is produced by bacterial fermentation. The starting material for fermentation is wheat. The substance is purified through several filtration steps and then dried. Fermentation is generally understood to be the conversion of organic substances through the addition of microorganisms or enzymes.
