Natural moisturizer
Hyaluronic acid is a simply constructed polysaccharide whose basic building block is glucosaminoglycan, a disaccharide of glucuronic acid and acetylglucosamine.
Hyaluronic acid fulfills important cell biological functions by interacting with cells and regulating intracellular signaling.
Hyaluronic acid is ubiquitous in the human body; a 70 kg person has 15 g of it, of which around 5 g is exchanged daily. In the skin, hyaluronic acid is present in the limited extracellular space in the epidermis at a concentration of 2 mg/ml, i.e. highly concentrated, and surrounds the keratocytes.
Hyaluronic acid is responsible for the regeneration of the water balance and for the modulation of membrane permeability. It is a natural moisturizer and the most important matrix component of the connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid compensates for the transepidermal water loss, the skin looks youthful and fresh again.
Hyaluronic acid is considered the gold standard in aesthetic dermatology and has long been used for wrinkle injections, filling tissue defects and for the aftercare of scars.
