HYALURONIC ACID: WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Hyaluronic acid is a completely natural component of our body. It is found in the body wherever a lot of moisture needs to be retained: for example in the eye, in the joints and in the intercellular spaces of the skin. It has a very special property: it attracts moisture like a magnet and can store many times its own weight in water. 

This is why it is a popular ingredient in high-quality skincare products. We reveal how you can use the moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid to perfectly hydrate your skin.

What is hyaluronic acid and what is behind hyaluronic acid?

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.

The polysaccharide hyaluronic acid comes

• in the skin,
• the joints
• and the connective tissue.
  
  

Hyaluron stores moisture in the skin and ensures that it remains firm and supple, while it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in joints. 

Hyaluronic acid is even contained in the vitreous body of the eye. Hyaluronic acid can also be added to the body from outside. Because it is a substance that occurs naturally in our body, it has virtually no side effects.

How hyaluronic acid works on your skin

Hyaluronic acid has numerous positive effects on your skin:

• Moisture magnet: Hyaluronic acid has the ability to bind thousands of times its own weight in water. This ensures intensive hydration of the skin, making it appear plump and fresh.
• Flexibility: Hyaluronic acid supports the elasticity of the skin because it can strengthen the skin's own structures. This allows it to regenerate better.
• Wrinkle reduction: By improving skin hydration and elasticity, hyaluronic acid can visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a fresh appearance.
• Wound healing: Hyaluronic acid promotes wound healing and can help with this.
• Regeneration: It supports cell regeneration and can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin.
  
  

Hyaluronic acid is amazing in its effect: the powerful moisture binder intensively hydrates the skin and gives it a plump appearance.

How hyaluronic acid works in your skincare routine

We love hyaluronic acid. That's why many of our products contain the water magnet.

• In skin care products such as our Hyaluronic Acid lip balm it increases the natural moisture content of the lips, 
• while the HYALURON Concentrate can be used as a particularly long-lasting and intensive moisturizer .
  
  

Hyaluronic acid penetrates into the deep layers of the skin, where it forms a moisturizing barrier. This is there to Protect the skin from drying out and can ensure a smooth, radiant complexion. 

In addition, hyaluronic acid can support the production of collagen - an important protein that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Sufficient collagen production is crucial for keeping the skin firm.
