Heliotrope Active Hyaluronate
When looking for effective skin care for mature skin, there is no way around Hyaluronate. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is produced by the body itself. It belongs to the sugar-like compounds (polysaccharides) that perform important functions in our organism. Hyaluronic acid was discovered in the 1930s by the German physician and biochemist Karl Meyer. At that time, he researched the so-called “vitreous body”, which makes up the largest part of our eyes. The gel-like substance of the vitreous body consists of 98% water, which is bound to 2% hyaluronic acid. The ability to bind large amounts of water is the most important property of hyaluronic acid. For that reasons it is indispensable for our eyes as well as for our intervertebral discs. Since water cannot be compressed, it acts like a shock absorber in the intervertebral discs. However, this only works because the water in the gelatinous core of the intervertebral discs is held in place by hyaluronic acid. The mobility of our joints also dependents on hyaluronic acid. In the synovial fluid, it acts like a lubricant that protects the joints and cartilage from wear and tear.
Hyaluronic acid often works unnoticed in many parts of our body. But its work cannot be overlooked in our largest organ, the skin. Because hyaluronic acid fills and supports the connective tissue between the skin cells. This “upholsters” the skin and gives it structure, but also elasticity and firmness. In addition, hyaluronic acid is partly responsible for the skin's moisture balance. Just one gram of hyaluronic acid can bind up to 6 liters of water. When the hyaluronic acid content of the skin starts to slowly decrease between the ages of 20 and 30, the first small wrinkles appear. This process is also influenced by our lifestyle: Stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, dry indoor air and excessive alcohol consumption accelerate skin aging. On the other hand, if you drink enough fluids, eat consciously, use sun protection and exercise regularly, you can counteract this process.
Even with a conscious lifestyle, the hyaluronic acid content of the skin steadily decreases with age. However, with the right care, you can react to this early on and slow down the process. The five-part Active Hyaluronate series by Heliotrop is a high-quality skin care system for skin aged 30 and above. An innovative complex of active ingredients has been tailored to the natural structure of the skin: long-chain hyaluronic acid reduces moisture loss, medium-chain hyaluronic acid moisturizes the upper layers of the skin and short-chain hyaluronic acid ensures deep hydration.
While the Hyaluronate Multi-Perform Cleansing Gel gently cleanses the skin, the deeper layers of the skin get an intensive moisture boost after cleansing with the Hyaluronate Multi-Perform Serum. The Hyaluronate Multi-Perform Day Cream with an active ingredient complex of algae extract and valuable organic oils provides intensive moisture and stimulates cell renewal. The Hyaluronate Multi-Perform eye fluid refreshes and tightens the sensitive skin around the eyes. At the end of the day, the Active Hyaluronate Multi-Perform Night Cream helps the skin to recover from the exertions of the day and makes the skin feel pleasantly fresh. The Active Hyaluronate products from Heliotrop are perfectly attuned to for a deeply effective skin care. The Active Hyaluron care series from Heliotrop supports the skin from 30 with selected active ingredients and plant extracts, slows down premature aging processes, stimulates the skin and promotes its natural regeneration.
