Hyaluronic Acid 4% (combining low- and high-molecular-weight fractions) is an ingredient worth having in your cosmetic base. Why? Because it works on multiple levels: it intensely hydrates, smooths the skin surface, improves elasticity, and at the same time supports the delivery of other active ingredients.
The 4% acid has a gel-like consistency, making it an ideal base for creating your own cosmetics – serums, masks, eye care products, or hair conditioners. Formulas prepared with this acid absorb perfectly, do not leave a greasy film on the skin, and do not clog pores.
5 Inspirations for Using Hyaluronic Gel
1. Face Serum
Combining hyaluronic gel with vitamin E, niacinamide, or plant extracts creates a light, refreshing formula that hydrates, smooths, and revitalizes the complexion.
Suggested extracts:
2. Gel Mask
Adding aloe extract, collagen, or filtered snail slime from densiLab’s offer to the gel creates a mask with regenerating, firming, and illuminating effects. Filtered snail slime contains natural allantoin, collagen, elastin, and glycolic acid – strongly supporting skin renewal processes.
3. Eye Serum
In this case, it is worth using Dark Circle Complex. This modern ingredient reduces dark circles and puffiness, strengthens delicate blood vessels, evens skin tone, and soothes. Just add 1–5% Dark Circle Complex to the hyaluronic gel to obtain a light, hydrating eye serum.
4. Hair Conditioner or Split-End Serum
Enhancing hyaluronic gel with keratin or hydrolyzed silk creates a light conditioner or smoothing hair serum. This combination provides hydration, shine, and protection against breakage.
Such a formula based on hyaluronic gel with keratin or hydrolyzed silk can be used leave-in – as a light serum for ends or a leave-in conditioner. However, if you apply a larger amount to the entire hair, you can use it as a classic rinse-out conditioner after a few minutes to avoid weighing hair down.
5. Soothing Gel After Sun or Hair Removal
Instead of classic allantoin, Filtered Snail Slime works perfectly again. Thanks to its rich natural composition, it soothes irritation, supports regeneration, and accelerates healing, while giving the skin softness and smoothness. You can combine our filtered snail slime with hyaluronic gel at a concentration of about 10–20% filtrate in the final formula to enhance the soothing and regenerating effect.
Summary
A 4% hyaluronic acid gel is an extremely versatile base that enhances the action of other active ingredients and allows the creation of personalized cosmetics. It can serve as a starting point for both simple and more advanced formulas – from serums and masks to hair conditioners or soothing gels. This product provides wide possibilities and facilitates the creation of effective skincare tailored to individual skin needs.
It is worth remembering that to extend the shelf life of such formulas, it is advisable to add a natural preservative – e.g., coconut-derived or radish-derived, both available in the densiLab offer.
