Hyaluronic acid – plant-based moisture booster with anti-aging effect
Plant-based hyaluronic acid intensively binds moisture, visibly smoothes and plumps up small wrinkles – ideal for dehydrated skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Hyaluronic acid (INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate ) is a highly effective moisturizer and a natural component of the human body. As a polysaccharide, it is found in the skin, joints, cartilage, and the vitreous humor of the eye. With age, the body's natural hyaluronic acid content decreases, resulting in skin losing elasticity and moisture. The plant-based hyaluronic acid in myrto products counteracts this: It deeply hydrates, smoothes wrinkles, and visibly supports skin structure.
Origin & Production
The hyaluronic acid used in our natural cosmetics is extracted from plant sources through wheat fermentation. This process is particularly sustainable and skin-friendly. The hyaluronic acid is vegan, biodegradable, and approved for certified natural cosmetics.
Effect on skin
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid with its high molecular weight remains on the skin's surface, where it forms a fine protective film that reduces transepidermal water loss. At the same time, it temporarily smoothes the skin, providing increased elasticity and a noticeably firmer feel.
Low molecular weight & oligo-hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid with a smaller molecular size penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin. It replenishes moisture reserves, plumps from within, and supports long-term skin regeneration. Oligo- or ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid has a particularly intensive and lasting effect against fine lines caused by dryness.
Use in natural cosmetics
Hyaluronic acid is used in:
- Anti-aging serums & facial care
- Eye care to reduce fine lines
- Moisturizing toners & gels
- After-sun & repair products
Special features / Who is it suitable for?
- ✔ For all skin types – ideal for dehydrated skin
- ✔ Vegan & plant-based – made from wheat fermentation
- ✔ Non-comedogenic – also suitable for impure or mature skin
- ✔ In myrto products with different molecular sizes for optimal effectiveness
Conclusion
Hyaluronic acid is an essential ingredient for hydrated, smooth, and firm skin. The combination of high-molecular, low-molecular, and oligo-molecular hyaluronic acid in myrto natural cosmetics provides deep nourishment, plumps up fine lines caused by dryness, and protects the skin from moisture loss – all without synthetic additives or animal ingredients.
❓ Frequently asked questions about hyaluronic acid
What is the difference between high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid?
High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid remains on the skin's surface, where it binds moisture and immediately smooths. Low-molecular-weight and oligo-hyaluronic acid penetrate deeper into the skin and provide long-lasting plumping.
Is the hyaluronic acid used in myrto products vegan?
Yes, we only use plant-based hyaluronic acid from wheat fermentation. It is 100% vegan and suitable for certified natural cosmetics.
Which skin type is hyaluronic acid suitable for?
Hyaluronic acid is suitable for all skin types—even sensitive, dry, or mature skin. It deeply hydrates without being greasy or clogging pores.
How often should I use hyaluronic acid?
You can use hyaluronic acid in the morning and evening after cleansing and before cream – ideal as a serum or in a facial toner for extra moisture.
