What is vegan hyaluronic acid and why is it ideal for your skin?
Vegan hyaluronic acid is a star ingredient in today's natural cosmetics. It is extracted exclusively from plant sources using sustainable processes, and its hydrating and regenerating properties make it an essential ingredient for maintaining youthful, smooth, and healthy skin.
What is vegan hyaluronic acid and what is its function in the skin?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that our bodies produce naturally. It's present in tissues such as skin, cartilage, tendons, and the vitreous humor of the eye, serving a fundamental function: retaining water and maintaining hydration . This helps the skin maintain its elasticity and firmness.
With age, natural hyaluronic acid production declines, and external factors such as pollution, oxidative stress, and solar radiation accelerate its degradation. This causes the skin to dry out, wrinkles to appear, and it loses volume and radiance.

Why choose vegan hyaluronic acid?
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid, which can be extracted from animal tissues such as rooster combs or shark cartilage, vegan hyaluronic acid is obtained through fermentation from plant sources (e.g., beets or corn). This guarantees a product that:
-
Free of animal ingredients and cruelty
-
Safe for sensitive skin
-
Ecological and sustainable
-
Free of endotoxins and allergens
This ethical and natural approach makes it the preferred choice for people conscious of environmental impact and those seeking clean and effective cosmetics.

How to apply vegan hyaluronic acid products for better results
-
Pre-cleansing: Apply to clean, slightly damp skin to facilitate absorption.
-
Appropriate amount: Use a few drops of serum or a small amount of cream.
-
Layers: Apply the serum first, then the cream to seal in moisture.
-
Consistency: To see visible results, daily application is key, especially morning and night.
-
Complement with sun protection: Hyaluronic acid helps repair, but protecting the skin from UV rays is essential to prevent damage.
