The Queen Boss of hydration! If your skin struggles to retain moisture then this is the serum for you. Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in our skin and depletes with age. It is found everywhere in nature too, especially in plants. This is a vegan sourced hyaluronic acid from corn (hyaluronic is often sourced cruelly from rooster crops). This is a gentle formula and is especially suitable for sensitive skin types, and perfect for around the eyes and neck areas too.
“Hyaluronic acid is one of my favourite skincare compounds, as it can hold up to 70% of it’s weight in water. It will hold and retain water in your skin for longer than any other compound. I always pair hyaluronic with vitamin B5, as this clever vitamin has the ability to absorb moisture from the air to help quench thirsty skin. So clever!” - Merran.
SKIN PENETRATION NOTE: Hyaluronic acid is a large molecule regardless of high or low molecular weight and as such it doesn’t penetrate deep into the skin. (Many serums claim they do!). Hyaluronic does however hydrate the surface layers, and also plays an important role in delivering actives through the skin by acting as an osmotic pump. You will notice it is present in many NSA formulas for this reason.
USAGE: apply a small amount on clean, dry skin on the face & neck. Use morning & night.
INGREDIENTS: Purified water, sodium hyaluronate, vitamin B5, papaya ferment, phenoxyethanol & ethylhexylglycerine.
