Ingredient Spotlight: The Magic of Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found throughout the body’s connective tissue. Glycosaminoglycans are simply long unbranched carbohydrates, or sugars, called polysaccharides.

The magic of HA lies in its incredible ability to retain water. One gram of hyaluronic acid is able to hold up to six liters of water. This is crucial in helping skin retain moisture, which results in a plumper, smoother appearance. As we age, our natural HA levels decline, which is why incorporating it into your skincare routine is so beneficial.
