Hyaluronic Acid

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is the most powerful hydrating molecule available. Discovered in 1934, it is a combination of uronic acid and aminoglycan. Hyaluronic acid is abundant in the dermis of young skin, but its quantity decreases with age: the skin then appears more damaged, with wrinkles.

The effects:

Antistatic: Reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on a surface
Humectant: Maintains the water content of a cosmetic in its packaging and on the skin
Moisturizing: Increases the skin's water content and helps keep it soft and smooth
Skin conditioning agent: Keeps skin in good condition

There are two types of hyaluronic acid:

- Low molecular weight : which facilitates the absorption of nutrients and hydrates quickly.

The serum penetrates your skin very quickly! It works in the layers of the epidermis where it retains water for better hydration and a plumping reflection on the surface.

- High molecular weight : Acts on the surface of the skin because it cannot penetrate the epidermis. It therefore forms a protective veil against dehydration. It is used, for example, to plump up wrinkles and fine lines.

What is sodium hyaluronate?

Sodium hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid. This active ingredient is valued for its hydrating and plumping action on the skin. It is a natural component. It easily penetrates the epidermis and is then capable of binding a large amount of water, up to 20 times its weight. For this reason, it is found in many cosmetics such as anti-aging skincare, moisturizers, and foundations.

Hyaluronic acid in New Angance products:

At New Angance, we've made it our mission to provide intense and effective hydration. That's why you'll find this molecule in many of our products:

In each of our New Angance masks, we use low molecular weight hyaluronic acid for better serum diffusion and an immediate hydration boost.

We also find this key ingredient in our moisturizing serum, moisturizing lotion, anti-wrinkle face serum, anti-wrinkle eye cream, youth-revealing hydrogel mask and precious cream.
