Active Ingredient Spotlight: Hyaluronic Acid

At CULT COSMETICA, we are dedicated to not only providing you with the best quality natural and cosmeceutical products but also in the mission to educate you on their application, use and benefits. And what better ingredient to kick off this series, than the natural and extremely beneficial hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a naturally occurring sugar molecule in our bodies and is found in our skin, hair, joints and eyes. This natural acid is considered a moisturiser and while we're born with an abundance of HA, as we age we lose the ability to produce in quantities our skin requires to stay adequately hydrated.

All skin types will benefit from the regular use and application of hyaluronic acid, but it is particularly beneficial for the dry/dehydrated and oily/combination skin groups. In dry/dehydrated skin, hyaluronic acid helps to build the reservoir of continuous moisture. While in oily/combination skin, HA helps to balance the natural moisture helping to alleviate excessive oil production.

We have an incredible range of products and brands that include this miracle ingredient.
