Hyaluronic Acid (HMW) (1-1.5M Daltons) is a highly effective humectant known for its ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin. It provides deep hydration, plumps the skin, and enhances overall skin elasticity. The long polymer chains of HMW-HA can bind up to 1,000 times their weight in water. This unique characteristics enables it to form transparent, viscous gels.
