Description
Hyaluronic acid serum
Our 100% natural, water-based face serum contains 1% hyaluronic acid and organic, palm-oil-free glycerin, helping to replenish moisture in the surface layers of the skin for a plump and hydrated appearance.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that can attract up to 1000 times its weight in water. It occurs naturally in the body and generally decreases with age, which is why most skin types – even oily and acne-prone skins – respond so well when it's introduced artificially. In the skin it exists in the epidermis and keeps the skin hydrated and supple due to its high water retention ability.
Our silky serum is best applied topically to freshly washed, damp skin, before applying make-up or going to bed. It can be used alongside other face creams, oils and moisturisers, and because it's a humectant - which means it draws water to the skin - we recommend doing so, especially for drier and mature skin types.
Please note that there are two main sources of hyaluronic acid, the first being animal extracted (from rooster combs typically) and the second being bacterial fermentation.
The hyaluronic acid used in this formula is from bacterial fermentation using corn-derived glucose. It's still classified as natural, and used in natural and organic cosmetic manufacturing.
