In recent years, many skin care "ingredient parties" have begun to choose skin care products containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is also known as "hyaluronic acid". What is it? What are its effects? Xian Pincredit Bio-tech Co., Ltd is a professional manufacturer and supplier of hyaluronic acid. This article will help you understand the past and present of hyaluronic acid.
01. What Exactly Is Hyaluronic Acid? What Are Its Functions?
Hyaluronic acid, It is also known by its other name, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is an endogenous natural mucopolysaccharide in our body. It is widely distributed in the skin, joints, vitreous body, tape and other tissues and organs. The hyaluronic acid content in the human body is the highest during the embryonic period. The content in the body gradually decreases with age.
Hyaluronic acid has four main functions: moisturizing, lubricating, repairing and viscoelastic.
Hyaluronic acid is found in any of our joint cavities. Among them, the lubricating and viscoelastic effects are very obvious. For example, when some elderly people feel that their knee joints are inconvenient to move, orthopedic doctors often prescribe a drug called sodium hyaluronate injection. By artificially supplementing hyaluronic acid, the joints can be relubricated, and the patient can feel less pain when walking.
The skin is the largest organ in the human body and the first barrier to external stimuli. As we age, the ability to metabolize hyaluronic acid in the individual decreases. The content of hyaluronic acid will gradually decrease, and the skin will develop wrinkles, become aged and loose. The moisturizing effect of hyaluronic acid is widely used in skin care products.
02. Sodium Hyaluronate Grades and Applications
1. Cosmetic Grade
(1) <6,000Da (Ultra Low Molecular Weight)
By far, this is the best hyaluronic acid found in facial serums and creams.
(2) <50,000Da (Low Molecular Weight)
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid powder makes it possible to enter the skin and keep moisturing. The additional moisture not only makes the skin more firm and firmer, but also visibly reduces wrinkles.
(3) >500,000Da (High Molecular Weight)
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid powder can repair skins and keep moisturing for longer time.
2. Food Grade
It can be added into drinks, health foods, etc.
3. Healthcare Grade
It can be used as supplements.
4.Eye Drop Grade
It can be made into eye drops.
03. Access to hyaluronic acid through synthetic biotechnology is now very widely used.
In fact, there are many bioactive substances in the human body that are beneficial to health, just like hyaluronic acid. The development of synthetic biotechnology has made it possible to obtain these substances quickly and efficiently.
In addition to the widespread application of hyaluronic acid, synthetic biotechnology has achieved many cutting-edge results. Tiny cells can become vaccines, medicines, dyes and cosmetic raw materials, etc., realizing "one thing creates all things" and applied to all aspects of human life.
