Contipro produces advanced hyaluronic acid solutions for a wide range of applications in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical sectors. Here we present the features of several products that Faravelli distributes in Italy for the cosmetic industry.

Hyaluronic Acid
INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate
Hyaluronic acid is a high-molecular-weight linear polysaccharide naturally found in the human body. It is used as a connective tissue organizer and moisturizing agent, recognized as the most hydrating polymer known. Its impressive water-binding capacity is a key feature that impacts its biological effects. Free from immunogenic activity, it is non-toxic and non-irritating. Available in various molecular weights, it can penetrate deep into skin layers or act on the surface to maintain long-term hydration.
Function: Anti-aging agent

HySilk
INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate
HySilk is a low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (150-1300 kDa). By enhancing intercellular communication, it provides numerous benefits to skin condition and appearance compared to standard hyaluronic acid. It increases antioxidant enzymes to counteract oxidative stress, supports desquamation, offers anti-pollution effects, supports the skin microbiome, has anti-inflammatory properties, and actively enhances skin barrier function and hydration.
Function: Anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and wrinkle-smoothing agent

HyActive
INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate
HyActive is an ultra-low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (10 - 150 kDa). Due to its high activity, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid can penetrate even the deepest skin layers, boosting collagen production and endogenous hyaluronic acid for effective wrinkle reduction. It combats epidermal atrophy, provides anti-inflammatory and anti-pollution actions, and supports the skin microbiome.
Function: Anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and wrinkle-smoothing agent

OligoHyaferre
INCI: Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate
Produced through acid hydrolysis of high-molecular-weight sodium hyaluronate originally obtained via fermentation, OligoHyaferre enhances skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles, supporting new blood vessel formation for more nourished skin. It stimulates endogenous hyaluronic acid production, soothes skin, improves long-term hydration, and strengthens the skin barrier. It protects the extracellular matrix and calms irritated skin, giving it a healthy and regenerated appearance.
Function: Anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. Also improves skin elasticity, provides deep hydration, and helps refine wrinkles. Non-irradiated, it nourishes the skin and reinforces the skin barrier for a healthier, more revitalized look.

Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid
INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer-3
CrossLinked HA is a crosslinked hyaluronic acid powder that forms a hydrogel and acts as a delivery system for the gradual release of active ingredients into the skin. The final product is a water-soluble powder free of preservatives or stabilizers, with higher solubility compared to other crosslinked HA gels. It is more stable than standard HA, offers immediate wrinkle reduction, superior hydration compared to high-molecular-weight HA, and serves as a reservoir for water and active ingredients, allowing their gradual release. It is created by crosslinking an HA derivative in the presence of standard HA.
Function: Anti-aging action, wrinkle reduction, improved water-binding, hydration, enhanced skin texture, increased skin elasticity, and wrinkle refinement.
