What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is naturally found in the human body's skin, eyes, and joints. Along with collagen and elastin, HA production begins to decrease with age causing skin to lose it’s youthful softness leaving it to look dry with more visible fine lines. When HA is applied topically to the skin it replenishes hydration and restores volume to look and feel more refreshed.
Ten Roots serum uses low molecular weight HA and contains Lysine as a natural component to an emulsification process effectively breaking down HA molecules and allowing oils to bind with water. The smaller the molecules are the deeper they can be absorbed into the skin’s surface resulting in a softer, fuller, dewy, more revived looking glow.
