Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

INCI Name: Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Purposes: Hair-Conditioning Agent , Skin-Conditioning Agent , Humectant

Hyaluronic acid is a very common ingredient that is used in a variety of ways. This is because hyaluronic acid can be sourced in a variety of molecular weights. Polymers can, ideally, continue indefinitely like a crystal structure. However, when products use a combination of low, medium, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid salts, a range of skin-penetration becomes available - smaller molecules invariably passing deeper into the skin than larger ones.

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is a lower molecular weight form of the compound.
