Properties: Endogenous Hyaluronic Acid is a polysaccharide which belongs to the family of glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Together with collagen, elastin and proteoglycans, forms the dermis substrate. This molecule, synthesized by the fibroblasts, gives the skin its firmness and smoothness. The dermis regulates different physiological skin functions, one of which is the regulation of the skin hydration.
Hyaluronic Acid in particular is implied in this mechanism, due to its exceptional capacity to bind large volumes of water.
The dermis is composed of an average of 70% of water which represents from 15 to 18% of the total quantity of water presents in the body. The quantity of water retained by the dermis may vary in relation to the ageing process, genetic factors and external conditions. Conversely, the stratum corneum is unable to tolerate great water content variations, without undergoing damages.
The topical application of SAVESKIN? on the epidermis allows the formation of a hydration film which compensates the eventual water loss. In effect, SAVESKIN? forms a film which is homogeneous, elastic and permeable to the cutaneous physiological exchanges. It binds water and maintains a good hydration level of the stratum corneum, irrespective of the hygrometry of the ambiance. |
