Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar chain. The body already makes its own. In topical formulas, it is used because it holds water against the skin. In the line, hyaluronic acid is named on the Turmeric Citrus Grove lotion, the one that stays on the skin. The washes and the scrub carry its salt form, sodium hyaluronate, near the end of their lists. The bars carry neither.

What you notice is the finish. The lotion goes on soft, then settles down, then quiets. Five minutes after, the skin reads damp without reading wet. There is no slick, no shine, no track on the cotton you pull on after. Hyaluronic acid is one reason the finish lands where it does.

In these scents: Turmeric Citrus Grove. In these products: Body Lotion.

Reads soft. Settles quiet.
