Winter weather means its Hyaluronic Acid season!  The perfect time to add this revolutionary moisture binding powerhouse to your haircare routine.

Pronounced phonetically “hi-ah-lur-on-ic acid“, Philip was a pioneer in the use of this still unbelievably popular skincare humectant over 50 years ago making him the first to use skincare ingredients in haircare products such as P2 Deep Hydrating Treatment and P2 Lite Leave In Conditioner.

Have you ever wondered why when a leaf falls off a tree in the fall it doesn’t turn brown and crispy instantly?  Or have you ever walked past rose bushes a day or two after it rained to notice there is still water resting on those rose petals?  This is Hyaluronic Acid in action!

This powerful moisture binder is found in all of nature, in plant life, in our own bodies and even in a chicken’s comb!  Of course at Philip Pelusi, we only use plant derived sources to obtain the Hyaluronic Acid we use, and absolutely do not use any animals as a course for any of our ingredients.

Hyaluronic Acid is an incredible lubricant to our knees, elbows, eyes and skin.  When we are born, our bodies are at their highest production level of Hyaluronic Acid that’s why a baby’s skin is so plump and smooth.  As we age, our body’s ability to produce Hyaluronic Acid naturally declines and that’s why aging skin is generally much drier than younger skin.

Hyaluronic Acid, which can hold up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water, naturally draws and bind moisture to whatever surface it is on, thus the moist rose petals and soft and flexibly leaves.  But if you are worried about the weight on the hair, don’t be!  The amount of Hyaluronic Acid put into any product makes a big difference and also the composition of the rest of the product as well.

Plus, if you want the lighter moisture binding equivalent, you can turn to Cassia Angustifolia Seed, found in our P2 Moisturesheen Shampoo and P2 Moisturesheen Conditioner.
