Brief
Hyaluronic Acid (CAS No. 9004-61-9) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the skin, eyes, and connective tissues. Renowned for its exceptional moisture-binding capacity, it can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it one of the most effective skin hydrators in cosmetics and dermatology. It is also widely used in the medical field for joint health, wound healing, and ophthalmic surgery.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan, is a glycosaminoglycan—a long chain of sugar molecules naturally present in the body. It plays a vital role in:
- Maintaining skin hydration and elasticity
- Lubricating joints and supporting cartilage
- Promoting wound healing
HA is available in different molecular weights, which influence its function:
- High Molecular Weight HA: Creates a moisture barrier on the skin surface.
- Low Molecular Weight HA: Penetrates deeper layers for enhanced hydration and anti-aging effects.
- Ultra-Low Molecular Weight HA: Targets skin regeneration and repair.
