Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding molecule that holds water in the skin, leaving it plumper, smoother and more elastic. For halal skincare, its source and processing must be certified, and ANAAKA uses halal-certified hyaluronic acid.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, especially in the skin, joints and eyes. Its main job in skin is to bind water and keep tissue hydrated. As we age, the skin's own supply decreases, which contributes to dryness and fine lines.
Why the source matters for halal skincare
In the past, hyaluronic acid for cosmetics was often extracted from animal tissue, such as rooster combs. Today most is produced by fermentation. Because the source and the processing aids can vary, halal-conscious consumers should choose products with halal-certified hyaluronic acid. ANAAKA uses halal-certified hyaluronic acid in its formulas.
Benefits for the skin
- Intense hydration: it attracts and holds water in the upper layers of the skin.
- Plumper look: well-hydrated skin looks fuller and fine lines caused by dryness appear softer.
- Smoother texture: skin feels softer and more supple.
- Suitable for most skin types: it is lightweight and rarely irritating, including for oily and sensitive skin.
How to use it
- Cleanse your face, for example with the Foaming Cleanser.
- Apply a hyaluronic acid serum while the skin is still slightly damp; this helps it draw in more moisture.
- Seal it in with a moisturiser, so the water stays in the skin rather than evaporating, especially in dry or air-conditioned environments.
- In the morning, finish with SPF.
