China-based ingredients provider Fenchem says the anti-aging ingredient hyaluronic acid (HA) is more effective at low molecular weight (LMW).
The company says it conducted in vitro studies on LMW HA to determine the penetration capacity and water holding ability compared with conventional ingredients of a higher molecular weight.
Fenchem says the results showed that the LMW HA showed clear signs of penetrating the skin more easily and also has a higher water retaining capacity, qualities that give greater anti-aging efficacy.
LMW hyularonic acid vs. standard
The study was carried out using a cream with 0.05 percent of either LMW HA or standard HA. Using female volunteers, one side a of the women’s face was treated with a placebo and one side with the LMW HA or HA.
After two months of treatment, the elasticity and smoothness of the face was said to show visibly better results on the side treated with the LMW HA, than the HA.
Outstanding moisturising ability
Hyaluronic Acid has become the darling of the anti-aging world in recent years, thanks to mucopolysaccharide, which provides outstanding moisturising properties.
Likewise, it also targets fine lines and wrinkles and improves the general health of skin because it tackles free radicals and improves skin blood microcirculation and nutrient absorption.
Fenchem says that its latest study into the effects of LMW HA is the culmination of a series of in vivo and in vitro studies indicating that it and Super Low Molecular Weight (SLMW) HA are more effective for anti-aging formulations because of their improved penetrative properties.
