The hyaluronic acid is a natural hydrophilic component that exists naturally in our bodies and can attract and hold water up to 1000 times its weight. The hydrophilic property is very important and essential for the preservation of the moisture of the skin and other tissues. The greater amount of HA is in the skin tissue: about 7-8g each adult.
Approximately 50% of the whole body (the remainder is located in the eyes and bone joint)
Skin contained 0.5mg / ml
The skin contains 2 to 4mg / ml
The half-life of the skin is less than a day. 1/3 of the total HA in the body is lost and replenished every day
