Hyaluronic Acid (HMW/LMW)

Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the body and generally decreases with age. In the skin, it exists in the epidermis and keeps the skin hydrated and supple due to its high water retention ability. It is also known for its antibacterial properties and assists in reducing symptoms in eczema sufferers. If you apply it to wounds, you reduce the risk of infection. When you have a skin injury, natural hyaluronic acid contained in your body will also increase in concentration to help repair the injured skin, like stretch marks.

There are two main sources of Hyaluronic acid. The first is animal-extracted (from Rooster Combs typically) and the second is bacterial fermentation. The Hyaluronic Acid in my products is from bacterial fermentation using glucose that is corn-derived to create the hyaluronic acid in a bio-fermentation process. The product I source is still classified as natural and used in natural and organic cosmetic manufacturing.
