Hyaluronic Acid Compound

A hyaluronic acid derivative made by combining hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid with a C12-13 alkyl glyceryl group. It functions primarily as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent, with enhanced substantivity versus standard hyaluronic acid because the lipophilic side chain helps it adhere to skin and support the moisture barrier. It is used to improve hydration, softness, and a smoother skin feel in leave-on products.
