Your skin's thirst quencher
Imagine if your skin could absorb moisture like a sponge and retain it for a long time. That's exactly what hyaluronic acid makes possible! This naturally occurring substance is renowned in the skincare world for its incredible ability to bind water and intensely hydrate the skin. At Flam Skin, hyaluronic acid is a key ingredient to give your skin that extra boost of freshness, keeping it plump and supple, and giving it a youthful, radiant appearance—all in keeping with our philosophy of deep nourishment and natural balance.
What is hyaluronic acid actually?
Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide (a sugar compound) that occurs naturally in our bodies, particularly in the skin, connective tissue, and joints. Its main function is to bind water—and it does this extremely well: a single gram of hyaluronic acid can retain up to six liters of water! However, with age, the body's own production of hyaluronic acid decreases, which can lead to moisture loss, dryness wrinkles, and a loss of elasticity. In skin care, hyaluronic acid is usually produced biotechnologically through fermentation, making it perfectly suited for vegan formulations.
The magic of moisture: What hyaluronic acid does for your skin
- Intensive hydration: Hyaluronic acid floods the skin with moisture and helps retain it long-lastingly. The result is noticeably smoother and softer skin.
- Plumping effect: Due to the intensive moisture binding, dryness wrinkles are plumped up from the inside out, the skin appears plumper and smoother.
- Strengthening the skin barrier: Well-hydrated skin has a stronger barrier function. Hyaluronic acid supports this barrier and makes the skin more resistant to external influences.
- Improved elasticity and firmness: By replenishing the skin's moisture reserves, hyaluronic acid helps improve skin elasticity and firmness.
- Suitable for all skin types: Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance produced by the body and is non-greasy, it is well tolerated by all skin types – from very dry to oily or sensitive skin.
Different weights for different depths – The secret of multi-molecular hyaluronic acid
You often read about high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid forms a moisturizing film on the skin's surface, providing immediate plumping. Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, due to its smaller molecular size, can penetrate deeper into the skin and provide long-lasting hydration. At Flam Skin, we like to use a combination of different molecular weights to provide your skin with benefits on all levels.

Hyaluronic acid is far more than just a trendy ingredient. It's a fundamental building block for healthy, plump, and radiant skin. Its ability to bind moisture and refresh the skin from within makes it an indispensable hero in any skincare routine.
