  2. Hyaluronic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyaluronic_acid

    Hyaluronic acid is a polymer of disaccharides, which are composed of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, linked via alternating β-(1→4) and β-(1→3) glycosidic bonds. Hyaluronic acid can be 25,000 disaccharide repeats in length. Polymers of hyaluronic acid can range in size from 5,000 to 20,000,000 Da in vivo.

  3. Glycosaminoglycan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosaminoglycan

    Hyaluronic acid binds cells together, lubricates joints, and helps maintain the shape of the eyeballs. [19] The viscoelasticity of hyaluronic acid makes it ideal for lubricating joints and surfaces that move along each other, such as cartilage. A solution of hyaluronic acid under low shear stress has a much higher viscosity than while under ...

  4. Sodium hyaluronate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hyaluronate

    Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It is a glycosaminoglycan and long-chain polymer of disaccharide units of Na-glucuronate-N-acetylglucosamine. It can bind to specific receptors for which it has a high affinity. The polyanionic form, commonly referred to as hyaluronan, is a visco-elastic polymer found in the aqueous and ...

    According to the brand, the gel mask contains a 20-percent complex of hyaluronic acid and Pentavitin — a plant extract — to moisturize, plus vitamin E and aloe to revitalize dry skin.

  6. Extracellular matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_matrix

    Hyaluronic acid (or "hyaluronan") is a polysaccharide consisting of alternating residues of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, and unlike other GAGs, is not found as a proteoglycan. Hyaluronic acid in the extracellular space confers upon tissues the ability to resist compression by providing a counteracting turgor (swelling) force by ...

  7. Arbutin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbutin

    Arbutin is a compound where a glucose molecule, specifically d -glucose, is chemically bound to hydroquinone. In aqueous solutions, glucose can exist in one of three stereoisomeric forms: α, β, or γ, with the β- anomer being the predominant form. [4]
