Sadly, some of the hyaluronic acid on the market is still derived from rooster combs. Hyaluronic Acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate, is a carbohydrate. More specifically it's a mucopolysaccharide occurs throughout the human body. It can be several thousands of sugars (carbohydrates) long. When not bound to other molecules, it binds to water giving it a stiff viscous quality. It performs many functions in your body. Amongst many others it binds to water to lubricate your body's moveable parts: joints, muscles and eyes. Its consistency and tissue-friendliness makes it great for skin care products. Its ability to help retain over 1000 times its weight in water within the cells of your skin makes it an efficient moisturizer. Hyaluronic Acid is a natural component of almost every cell in your body. It occurs in high concentrations in specific body locations. In each body location, it serves a different function. Unfortunately, the lifespan of a HA molecule is less than three days and might only be one day in the skin. For this reason it's important to keep replenishing the body with HA. The skin is the largest organ in the body. It comprises about 15% of your body weight. Roughly 50 percent of the Hyaluronic Acid in your body is in your skin. HA and Collagen are vital to maintaining your skin's layers and structure. It's the collagen that gives the skin its firmness but it is the HA that nourishes and hydrates the collagen.
