Hyaluronan

Hyaluronan, also known as hyaluronic acid, is a natural substance found in our bodies, particularly in the skin, joints, and connective tissues. It functions as a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains water, helping keep tissues well-lubricated and plump. This makes it essential for maintaining skin elasticity and smoothness, as well as cushioning joints for smooth movement. Hyaluronan is commonly used in skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers, and in medical treatments like joint injections for arthritis, due to its ability to improve hydration and joint health.
