Hyaluronic acid is an elastic and sticky substance that exists in the eyes and joints.
Lately there is a growing interest in it, due to its medical and beauty properties.
Production
Initially hyluronic acid products were made from animal tissue, especially chicken.
Use
It is used for regenerating the skin (wounds, burns, ulcers), preventing the negative effects of aging (reducing wrinkles) and like a moisturizing substance.
Benefits for the skin
The human body has approximately 15 grams of hyaluronic acid. Half of this amount exists in the collagen of the skin and its role is vital. Hyaluronic acid has the property of retaining water in the body cells, which makes it a great moisturizing ingredient. No other biological substance has this property. It is considered as important as collagen, if not more important!
