How it works in skincare

In skincare and cosmetic formulations, multi-weight hyaluronic acid combines high molecular weight molecules that sit on the skin’s surface to form a moisture-locking film with medium and low molecular weight fractions that penetrate further. This layered approach helps bind water throughout the upper layers of the skin, improving smoothness, elasticity and overall hydration without a heavy or sticky feel.

Where it comes from

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, but the cosmetic grade is produced through fermentation of plant-derived sugars by friendly bacteria. It is vegan-friendly and widely used in UK beauty products.
