What is vegan hyaluronic acid?

The concept of hyaluronic acid is very popular in the cosmetics market. It's something that appeals to all buyers. Sometimes, the marketing campaign behind a label is so powerful that we forget about other very good ones.

Because, although hyaluronic acid is a very powerful active ingredient, it is not a panacea. The success of an effective cosmetic lies in its combination, formulation, and production process.

Even so, today we'd like to talk to you about this concept everyone is talking about, in its vegan version in natural cosmetics . Yes, today we want to explain what vegan hyaluronic acid is and what it does for your skin.

Vegan hyaluronic acid is a plant acid obtained from natural elements, such as seeds, through a fermentation process .

We are all capable of producing hyaluronic acid, a component that keeps our skin firm, hydrated, and plump. It's estimated that humans have between 10 and 15 grams of hyaluronic acid in their bodies, distributed throughout the ocular fluid, synovial fluid in the joints, skeletal tissue, and more.

However, over time, its production decreases. That's why many of us have incorporated hyaluronic acid into our cosmetics to take care of your skin as we age.

In the market you can find two different types :

  • conventional hyaluronic acid, which comes from animals,
  • vegan hyaluronic acid, which comes from plants.

The properties are different; and so is the energy. While conventional hyaluronic acid carries with it all the toxic compounds used to raise livestock, vegan hyaluronic acid offers pure, gentle energy extracted directly from nature. And we already know that the purer, more natural, and more essential the ingredient, the more powerful its protective and regenerative effect.

Properties of vegan hyaluronic acid

It is important to understand that the effectiveness of vegan hyaluronic acid depends largely on its molecular weight .

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid :

  • has a long-lasting moisturizing effect,
  • improves the elasticity of the skin, making it soft.

Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid :

  • helps prevent wrinkles,
  • prevents flaking, reducing pore size and thus improving the texture and thickness of the skin.

Its high water-retaining capacity makes it a perfect compound for all skin types. Ideally, you should find a cosmetic that contains both molecular weights to benefit from all its benefits, as is the case with Saper, where we use both types.

Furthermore, our Hyaluronic Acid comes from one of the best manufacturers in the world, in South Korea . There are many manufacturers in Asia, and especially in China, but the best are in Korea.

Creams with vegan hyaluronic acid

An important thing when choosing your hyaluronic acid creams is to know their ingredients, but also their origin . When we buy vegan cosmetics, we make sure they're cruelty-free.

Because if we use conventional cosmetics made with animal products, we are not only participating in a market where abuse and overexploitation often go hand in hand, but in addition to placing all the ingredients present in the product on our skin, we are also giving it everything that was necessary to grow said ingredients (pesticides, herbicides, animal feed, hormones...).
