In a human body hyaluronic acid exists in connective, epithelial and neural tissues. Approximately half of the hyaluronan can be found in skin dermis as an extracellular matrix, where it plays a crucial role in skin moisturizing and normal functioning of the skin cells – fibroblasts, which, in turn, produce skin proteins, i.e. collagen and elastin. With age, the amount of hyaluronic acid reduces, which results in dry, sagging and non-elastic skin, as well as the appearance of wrinkles.

Inulin Lauryl Carbamate
Naturally-Sourced Ingredient

In cosmetics, an emulsifying system is the keystone of stability, cutaneous activity and long-term compatibility of emulsions with skin. Being the product of chemical synthesis and technology applied to vegetal polymers, emulsifiers represent an intelligent system associating organic synthesis with biological elements to achieve environmentally friendly substances. Recently, a copolymer called inulin lauryl carbamate, based on inulin (a naturally occurring polyfructose) has been synthesized. Besides having a high safety profile, inulin lauryl carbamate can emulsify high amounts of oil and several types of solid ingredients in water to create either high-viscosity emulsions or fluid ones.
