When you make the switch to natural skincare ingredients and products, you can rest assured that you won’t be applying harsh, synthetic chemicals to your skin. Instead, you’re making the choice to invest in high-performance ingredients derived from nature. But what are those ingredients? And what are they actually doing for your skin?
You have a right to know what’s in your skincare- and why it’s in your skincare. To decode precisely what you’re applying to your skin, we’ve collated this guide to natural skincare ingredients.
Hyaluronic Acid
A blessing for dry, dehydrated skin, Hyaluronic Acid has the unique ability to retain up to 1000 times its own weight in moisture. While many people hear the word “acid” and assume the ingredient is a harsh, synthetic chemical, Hyaluronic Acid is actually an ingredient that occurs naturally in the skin- in Andalou Naturals products, Hyaluronic Acid is derived from potatoes.
As we mature, our skin begins to lose its natural ability to retain moisture. This lack of moisture heightens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and diminishes our collagen stores. Hyaluronic Acid helps the skin hold on to that moisture, leading to plump, more hydrated, youthful-looking skin.
