Hyaluronic acid

Origin and history


Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the body, particularly in the skin, joints, and connective tissues. Discovered at the beginning of the 20th century, it owes its name to the Greek word hyalos , meaning "glassy," due to its transparent appearance. Initially studied for its role in joint lubrication, it is now widely used in cosmetics and dietary supplements for its hydrating and protective properties.

Properties and benefits of hyaluronic acid

  • Skin hydration : Hyaluronic acid helps maintain skin elasticity, suppleness and firmness.

  • Anti-aging : by retaining water in the tissues, it helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and preserve the radiance of the complexion.

  • Joint comfort : present in synovial fluid, it contributes to the lubrication of joints and supports their mobility.

  • Cellular protection : thanks to its “sponge” effect, it protects cells from dehydration and oxidative stress.

Traditionally associated with youth and well-being, hyaluronic acid has become a key ingredient in beauty care and joint comfort.
