The benefits of plant-based hyaluronic acid on the skin are manifold. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin that helps retain moisture. However, as we age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to dryness, wrinkles and fine lines. The application of plant-based hyaluronic acid helps increase moisture levels in the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Our Hyaluronic Acid is included in our Skin Refining Routines and Tepezcohuite products. Manufacturing: Our plant based hyaluronic acid is obtained through the fermentation of bacteria such as Streptococcus zooepidemicus or Bacillus subtilis. The bacteria produce hyaluronic acid, which is then recovered through filtration and purification. In contrast to animal hyaluronic acid, which is obtained from cockscombs or cattle eyes, the plant-based version is vegan and free from animal products.
