One of the most important glycosaminoglycans in the human body, it was first discovered in the eyes of cattle. Commonly found in the interstitium of human cells, the polyhydroxyl structure of the polymer can bind a large amount of water.
In the early days, this raw material was hard to come by and could only be extracted from the combs of roosters. Therefore, it could only be used in the medical industry and was mainly used for postoperative filling (filling the space created in the body after surgery). Later, the process was improved and it was produced by fermentation method, which allowed it to appear in skin care products on a large scale. China’s Bloomage Biotech plays an important role in this matter, responsible for more than 40% of the world’s hyaluronic acid production. The group’s own brand Runbaiyan uses hyaluronic acid as its main ingredient.
