2-in-1: hydration and exfoliation
HyPearls® for cosmetic products
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, known for its remarkable ability to retain moisture. In cosmetic applications, it is highly valued for its hydrating and anti-aging properties. Used in serums, creams, and injectable fillers, hyaluronic acid helps to plump the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin elasticity. Its ability to bind water makes it an essential ingredient in skincare, promoting smoother, more youthful-looking skin while being well-tolerated even by sensitive skin types.
Advantages and Functionalities of Hyaluronic Acid:
- Deep Hydration: Retains moisture, providing long-lasting skin hydration.
- Anti-Aging: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by plumping the skin.
- Skin Elasticity: Improves skin firmness and elasticity, promoting a youthful appearance.
- Wound Healing: Supports skin repair and regeneration.
- Non-Irritating: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
- Smooth Texture: Helps to smooth and soften the skin.
- Collagen Boost: Stimulates collagen production, aiding in skin renewal.
- Dermal Fillers: Used in injectable fillers for facial contouring and volume restoration.
Exfoliation in cosmetics
Exfoliation is a key step in skincare that involves removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This process helps to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath, promoting a healthy glow and improving the efficacy of other skincare products. Exfoliation can be done using physical methods, such as scrubs or brushes, or chemical exfoliants. Still, a typical scrub material are microplastics, which by means of environmental protection and natural product development, turns to be a no-go for high-level cosmetic applications.
In cosmetics, exfoliation is essential for enhancing skin texture, reducing the appearance of pores, and preventing breakouts by unclogging pores. It also helps to even out skin tone, diminish dark spots, and support cell turnover, which is vital for aging skin. Proper exfoliation allows for better absorption of moisturizers and serums, maximizing their benefits. However, over-exfoliation can lead to irritation, dryness, and increased sensitivity, so it’s important to choose products and routines that suit the individual’s skin type and condition.
Avoiding skin side effects:
Negative side-effects of over-exfoliation are:
- skin irritation
- dryness
- increased sensitivity
Taking down these side-effects needs a careful consideration of scrubing agent. In the case of HyPearls®, the scrubing agent is the microparticle itself. The microparticles are available in a size range between 90 µm and 400 µm. Their surface properties are balanced for scrubing efficiency and minimizing skin irritation. Upon dissolution of the microparticle, hyaluronic acid is immediately released to the skin, avoiding dryness even for a sensitive skin.
