Fun Fact Friday- Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a widely marketed ingredient in moisturizers, masques, boosters and serums because it is known for it's powerful hydrating properties as it holds 1,000 times its weight in water. 

Sodium Hyaluronate (SH) is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid that helps to retain the moisture levels in skin tissue. There is a further researched ingredient called Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer (SHC) that retains 5 times more water than normal SH which increases the skins moisture giving it a weeks worth of hydration in one application. It also naturally fights free radicals to help prevent cell damage and skin ageing. This unique cross-linked ingredient traps moisture to deliver time-released hydration which improves skin elasticity and suppleness. 

Only three of Dermalogica's products contain the SHC cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid which give the skin 5,000 times its weight in water. Skin Hydrating Masque £32.50, Ultrasmoothing Eye Serum £36.90 and Sheer Tint SPF 20 £34.80.
