Science
Mechanism of Action
Sulfated hyaluronic acid (sHA) exhibits several key advantages over native hyaluronic acid, including increased resistance to hyaluronidase enzymes, a higher charge density, and enhanced water-binding and antioxidant capabilities. These properties collectively contribute to the restoration of skin barrier function, effective modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation pathways, and promotion of extracellular matrix remodeling. Furthermore, sHA demonstrates anti-adhesive and anti-inflammatory activities, and notably, it improves the binding efficiency of essential growth factors such as FGF1 and FGF2.
