Intense Comfort: Advanced Science Behind HA-COAT Technology

 

The HA-COAT complex in the Intense Comfort line represents a significant advancement in skincare formulation. It utilizes low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate modified with caproic acid, allowing for enhanced permeability and deeper penetration into the skin layers. This molecular modification is dispersed in a base of centella oil and oat oil, which synergistically contribute to its unique properties.

1. Enhanced Moisturization: Sodium hyaluronate’s reduced molecular size and the addition of caproic acid allow it to form a protective, hydrating "coat" on the skin surface, binding water more effectively than traditional hyaluronic acid.

2. Soothing Action: Centella oil, known for its anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, works in tandem with oat oil, rich in beta-glucans and lipids, to reinforce the skin barrier while calming irritation. This combination delivers an intense soothing effect, making it ideal for sensitive or stressed skin.

3. Improved Efficacy: The structural refinement of HA ensures better bioavailability within the dermis, optimizing hydration and promoting enhanced skin resilience and elasticity.

By integrating these technologies, the HA-COAT complex not only delivers superior hydration but also addresses multiple skin concerns with a scientifically backed, multi-functional approach.

​The HA-COAT complex  is designed to benefit a wide range of skin types, particularly those needing hydration, barrier support, and soothing. 

​

Skin Types That Benefit:

1. Dry Skin:

   • HA-COAT delivers deep hydration through low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate, while its "coat" effect helps retain moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss.

   • Protocol: Apply after cleansing and before a thicker cream to lock in hydration.

2. Sensitive or Irritated Skin:

   • The soothing properties of centella and oat oils help reduce redness and irritation, making it ideal for compromised or stressed skin.

   • Protocol: Use as a gentle barrier-enhancing serum to calm inflammation, particularly after exposure to environmental stressors.

3. Aging Skin:

   • Enhances elasticity and smoothness by deeply hydrating and improving skin resilience.

   • Protocol: Integrate into both morning and evening routines, focusing on areas prone to dryness or fine lines.

4. Combination to Oily Skin:

   • Lightweight yet nourishing, HA-COAT provides hydration without clogging pores, while centella oil helps balance oil production.

   • Protocol: Use as a standalone moisturizer in humid climates or under a light gel-based cream in drier conditions.

5. Post-Treatment Skin (e.g., post-peel or laser):

   • Its reparative properties can accelerate recovery by reinforcing the skin barrier and soothing inflammation.

   • Protocol: Apply as directed by a dermatologist or esthetician, focusing on areas of healing.

General Usage Recommendations:

• Morning Routine: Apply after cleansing and before sunscreen to maintain hydration and protect against environmental aggressors.

• Evening Routine: Use after cleansing and any active treatments (like retinoids or AHAs) to restore the skin barrier and soothe irritation.
