Hyaluronic Acid: The Deep Hydration Hero
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, especially in the skin, joints, and eyes. Its main role? Retaining moisture. Just one gram of hyaluronic acid can hold up to six liters of water—making it a key to supple, hydrated skin.
What are the benefits? (For skin and mind)
For the skin, hyaluronic acid is a hydration powerhouse. It helps plump the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and support the skin barrier. It gives your complexion a dewy, refreshed appearance.
On an emotional level, hydrated skin feels soft and resilient. That comfortable, cushiony feeling contributes to a sense of well-being—like your skin is gently being held and protected.
What Japanese foods contain it?
While hyaluronic acid itself isn't eaten directly, foods that support the body's natural production include bone broth, soy-based foods like miso and tofu, and root vegetables such as taro and daikon. These staples of Japanese cuisine offer the internal hydration and collagen-support that hyaluronic acid mirrors on the outside.
How is it used in WALALA products?
At WALALA, hyaluronic acid is used in formulations that prioritize layered moisture. Our products combine multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to hydrate both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. You’ll find it in our toner, cream, and sheet mask—each designed to envelop the skin in long-lasting, breathable hydration.
Who is it for? (Skin types and situations)
-
Dry or dehydrated skin

Skin exposed to travel, air-conditioning, or harsh weather

Those experiencing tightness or flakiness
-
Anyone seeking that soft, glassy glow
Hyaluronic acid is a universally beneficial ingredient that suits all skin types—including sensitive or mature skin.
A natural approach to care (the senses and mindful rituals)
At WALALA, hydration is not just about water—it’s about touch, temperature, and tenderness. Hyaluronic acid delivers that sense of moisture being sealed into the skin, like a quiet breath settling into your body.
Each layer you apply becomes a moment to check in with yourself. The way it glides, the way it soaks in, the way your skin responds—hydration becomes presence.
WALALA invites you to turn this daily act into a grounding ritual. Let your skincare hold you, just as you are.
