HAHIALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid is the most hydrating biopolymer known . It is one of the most important substances for optimal cell hydration in the body. It is synthesized by the body based on polysaccharides and plays a key role in the production of connective tissue, forming the basis of the intercellular substance. Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to retain moisture. One molecule attracts about 100 molecules of water. It activates the process of repairing skin cells and connective tissue and stimulates wound healing. When it penetrates the skin, it activates fibroblasts, which are living cells with an essential role in the healing process. When active, they release collagen and elastin, two key elements in the skin’s recovery process. Hyaluronic acid is also an important component of articular cartilage, ensuring joint mobility and protecting them from wear and tear. As a natural component of connective tissue, hyaluronic acid is non-toxic and non-irritating.

With advancing age, the body is unable to synthesize enough hyaluronic acid, which in turn leads to the relaxation and drying of the skin, known as signs of aging.

Modern anti-aging cosmetics almost necessarily contain hyaluronic acid, which retains moisture in the skin and fills the wrinkles in depth while stimulating collagen production. However, its therapeutic properties are far from exhausted. Taken in the form of supplements for oral use, hyaluronic acid has a beneficial effect on rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

When applying cosmetic products containing hyaluronic acid, it has a long-lasting hydrating effect, which is noticeable for more than 24 hours. Due to the properties mentioned above, hyaluronic acid is a very valuable ingredient for both cosmetics and pharmacy.
