OligoHyaferre

The hydrolysed form of hyaluronic acid with a very low molecular weight of 5 kDa is obtained through modern microbial fermentation using non-pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus sp. or Escherichia coli, ensuring high purity and safety without animal-derived materials. This biologically extracted ingredient naturally resembles the hyaluronan found in the human body, where it forms part of the synovial fluid and extracellular matrix. Hyaluronic acid was first isolated in 1934 from the fluid inside a cow's eye, but biotechnological production is now preferred as it offers a range of molecular weights and better compatibility with the skin.

The hydrolysed form of hyaluronic acid with a very low molecular weight of 5 kDA provides long-lasting skin hydration, restores the skin barrier and stimulates the skin's own production of hyaluronic acid. It acts as an antioxidant to protect the extracellular matrix, soothes irritation, reduces inflammatory processes and supports the formation of new blood vessels to improve tissue nourishment. Thanks to its low molecular weight, it penetrates deep into the skin, improves elasticity and reduces wrinkles. IN VIVO studies have shown: a 51% reduction in wrinkles, a 31% reduction in inflammatory processes in the skin and reduced redness, and a 29% increase in the skin's own production of hyaluronic acid. Further benefits: improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkles, support for the formation of new blood vessels to nourish the skin, stimulation of the skin's own hyaluronic acid production, soothing effects, long-lasting hydration and an improved skin barrier, protection of the extracellular matrix, and relief for irritated skin.

This ingredient is ideal for dry, dehydrated, sensitive, mature and acne-prone skin, supporting hydration without weighing it down. It is recommended for people with wrinkles, loss of elasticity or irritation, including those with oily skin prone to dehydration. Suitable for all age groups concerned with ageing or environmental damage.

An IN VIVO study on OligoHyaferre demonstrated a 51% reduction in wrinkles, a 31% reduction in inflammatory processes and redness, and a 29% increase in the skin's own production of hyaluronic acid (Dulcia Natural, clinical tests). Another study confirms that low-molecular-weight hydrolysed sodium hyaluronate stimulates fibroblasts to synthesise endogenous HA and proteoglycans, improving the skin's viscoelastic properties (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, viscosupplementation effects).
