What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occuring polymer found in our skin.

The dermis has a high percentage of HA which hydrates the skin because of its high water-binding properties. HA provides and maintains proper tissue volume and acts as a cushion to help protect the skin. The natural product, if injected into the skin would be rapidly lost.

To produce longer lasting HA it must be made more robust and stable by cross-linking.

It minimizes uncross-linked BDDE and guarantees the following 3 values:
