Thanks Marla
That's certainly the right stuff, but it's a big, expensive quantity. Do you know somewhere where I can buy a bit less? |

I'm afraid not -- sorry!
It will keep for a few years. It's far and away the least expensive way to use HA.

Molly -- you should PM Tangal (Paula B thread) and ask her! I remember her from SCB...she's a big DIY'er...She might have a suggestion.

| I cna't answer your question whatsoever, but what does HA do? I read that it helps with sagging skin...so it's of no use for younger folk? |

| Molly, why do you prefer HA not derived from animal sources? Have you found that the quality of the synthetic one is better? |

It just 'feels' softer to me   I don't mind slapping animal factors on my face. |

I knew you didn't mind animal factors because of your emu oil using.  |

Hi everyone, Angyl HA is Hyaluronic Acid - if collagen and elastin are the bricks that hold the skin turgor - HA is the mortar - it will hold about 1000 times its weight in water - also found in your joints -
Usual source is the cockscomb of a rooster which is what the gals are re-ferring to - the best source, we use it - is from the potato - it is extrememly expensive - some folks have issues with animal based ingredient sources.
I don't know of anywhere where you can get small quantities of HA non - animal source tho - Hope this helps - Amy |
