BABOR Cryo Plumping Mask

Key Ingredients

Thanks to its broad range in sizes, the perfectly fine-tuned composition of five low to high molecular weight hyaluronic acids instantly creates an intensive moisturizing effect that lasts a long time and strengthens the body’s natural hydration mechanisms. Very low molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deep into the skin and promotes moisture absorption and retention at different epidermal levels, improving skin elasticity and firmness. Medium and high molecular weight hyaluronic acids ensure instant hydration of the epidermis and form a moisturizing film on the skin’s surface. As a result, the skin immediately appears plumper and is protected against moisture loss through evaporation and other osmotic processes. Moisture is stored in the skin for a long time, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is reduced, and the moisture content equilibrium is sustainably optimized.

Polyglutamic acid (PGA), a natural polymer obtained via a biotechnical process through the fermentation of soybeans, is characterized by its unusual effect as a humectant in the skin. Polyglutamic acid forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to minimize moisture loss and boost the skin’s ability to store moisture. Thanks to these water-binding properties, PGA can store up to four times more moisture than hyaluronic acid, as proven in scientific studies. This leaves the skin instantly looking smoother and more elastic. In addition, PGA can inhibit the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which minimizes the natural hyaluronic acid content, stabilizing and increasing the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin. The combination of the two active ingredients has a synergetic, moisturizing effect. In addition, PGA stimulates the natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and increases its own production to improve the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid synthesis.
