“Hyaluronic acid” (aka HA) we have all heard this word in skincare before, but do we really know what it is? One thing's for sure it is a difficult word to pronounce but it’s also a staple ingredient in many different skincare products.
Did you know our body natural produces hyaluronic acid, but as we age it begins to deplete, which causes fine lines and wrinkles. HA, as it occurs naturally in the skin, its function is to bind to water to plump up skin and give it that dewy, glowy effect. This is why it is so important to incorporate a hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine. And it's so wonderful to see it as a 'must-have' ingredient, but it does so much more than boost skin's moisture levels.
So, what does Hyaluronic Acid do exactly?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that holds 1000x its weight in moisture and is extremely hydrating for the skin! Mind blowing, right?
Hyaluronic acid is beneficial for dry/dehydrated skin types. It keeps your skin feeling and looking plump, soft and wrinkle free! It does this by binding water to collagen, trapping it in the skin, so that skin can appear plumper, dewier, and more hydrated - all day long!
Here are a few natural hyaluronic acid skincare products that we carry at
The Truth Beauty Company and some reasons why we love them.
