What is Hyaluronic Acid
- Hyaluronic Aced occurs naturally in the dermis (below the
top skin layer). Its water-absorption abilities allow the
epidermis ( the top skin layer)
to achieve greater suppleness, elasticity and thickness.
- Hyaluronic Acid is abundant in youthful skin and is the
key component that keeps our skin youthful and hydrated. It
keeps the skin firm, moist, supple, smooth and prevents
wrinkles and fine lines by plumping the skin.
- Our natural produced Hyaluronic Acid diminishes with age,
sun damage, hormone depletion, lowered estrogen and
menopause, and our skin begins to age. Replacing Hyaluronic
Acid is the most effective way to repair damaged, aging
skin.
Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging Benefits that Turn Back the
Clock:
It hydrates:
- holding water on the top layer of cells, favors skin
hydration by reducing moisture loss.
- plumps up the appearance of your skin… reducing fine
lines and wrinkles.
- improve skin hydration and increase skin elasticity
- nourishing the cells for firmer-looking skin.
It moisturizes:
- soften the top layers of dead cells and facilitate their
removal
- helps give skin a softer smoother texture.
- maintains skin's natural beauty.
- reduce coarse wrinkles
It penetrates:
- facilitate skin hydration by penetrating into the
dermis (deeper skin layers)
- assists with transporting other moisturizers further
into the cell for bio-activity.
- reduce bacterial population and inflammation
For Topical Use:
- Measure out 4 fluid (100 gm) ounces distilled
water and pour into small bottle or a Jar. Place in refrigerator for about 4 hours.
- Add 1 gram of the Hyaluronic Acid powder into the bottle on top of the
cold water.
- Place the water bottle with the Hyaluronic Acid powder and
cold water into the refrigerator (but do not freeze).
- Seal the bottle lid tightly and shake the bottle a few times.
The Hyaluronic Acid powder will not appear to dissolve but will
clump together in floating white
masses. This is normal.
- Periodically, about every two to four hours, shake the bottle
and then place immediately back into refrigerator. After 4 to 8
hours you will notice that the Hyaluronic Acid clumps are turning clear and dispersing into
solution. After 12 to 24 hours the Hyaluronic Acid will be
completely dissolved forming a thickened and gelatinous liquid with a viscosity between maple syrup and
honey, but still pourable.

Kojic Acid Powder Today, kojic acid is being used in cosmetics and skin
lightening products regularly because it actually works and
doesn’t have the dangerous side effects of many chemicals
and compounds. Kojic acid has many benefits that other main
ingredients can’t offer.
- What Is Kojic Acid?
Kojic acid is an all-natural compound derived from fungi – sort of like
mushrooms. That means that kojic
acid is completely natural and
not something that’s man-made in a laboratory by a group of scientists and
dermatologists.
- How Does Kojic Acid Work?
kojic acid works to stop
the production of melanin in
your skin. Melanin is the substance that gives your skin its pigment, and the
more you have, the darker your skin will be. Age spots, sun spots and spots
related to melasma and hyperpigmentation generally contain more melanin than the
surrounding healthy skin. Kojic Acid can reduce the production of melanin,
giving your skin an overall lighter appearance.
- Longer Shelf Life
Many products designed for lightening the skin have a very short shelf life
because they really aren’t all that stable. Products
that contain kojic acid generally have a much longer shelf life because kojic
acid resists oxidation and spoilage.
- Kojic Acid Is Effective
Kojic acid has been widely studied by many dermatologists and
scientists because it is an ingredient that’s commonly used in skin care
products. Kojic acid has been proven effective.
- Kojic Acid Is Safe
kojic acid is very safe. Unlike hydroquinone which can
cause incredibly dry skin, severe rashes and even contact dermatitis.
Kojic acid is not known to
cause these even in people with
sensitive skin. But it should be noted that if you have cuts or broken skin
or peeling, this is not considered safe.
