Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Film Forming
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Hyaluronic acid was discovered in 1934 in cow eyes. Its use in skincare began in the 1990s after researchers identified its exceptional moisture-binding capacity. Calcium hyaluronate salt form was developed to improve stability and penetration compared to sodium hyaluronate.
