Skin is the body’s barrier that physically protects us from the world—and it’s exposed to a lot. Pollution, stress, poor nutrition and sleep, and dehydration can all harm skin health. As we age, the body’s production of hyaluronic acid declines, which is important for skin suppleness and hydration. Like most organs, when skin is compromised, it cannot properly perform its various functions, which causes our skin to age prematurely.
Amidst exposure to these stressors, skin needs its own oasis—a welcome respite amidst an otherwise unforgiving environment. Hydration is key to supporting skin health, and you’d be hard pressed to find a substance more suited to skin health benefits than hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid: The hydration superhero
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is a substance the body produces naturally to help keep skin, joints, and eyes lubricated. Roughly half of the HA in our bodies is found in the skin, which is part of what helps the skin retain its moisture and elasticity.
In fact, HA holds around 1000 times its weight in water. A quarter teaspoon of hyaluronic acid can hold a gallon and a half of water, making it a powerful ingredient for absorbing water and providing lasting hydration.
7 more benefits of hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid has amazing skin benefits, many of which go beyond skin hydration. It supports the body in several other ways, as well.
Helps to keep the joints lubricated and functioning as they should.
Relieves occasional dry eye symptoms.
Keeps the skin flexible and smooth, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Has been shown to help wounds heal faster and may reduce scarring.
Helps to protect and fortify skin from outside stressors.
Promotes a proper moisture balance in the skin, which helps support hydration.
Early studies suggest that HA can soothe stomach discomfort and help support the digestive system.
However, as we age, the body’s stores of HA decreases (along with collagen, another important substance that supports skin health). Factors like pollution and poor diet further accelerate this decline. Fortunately for us, products containing hyaluronic acid are an effective way to supplement what the body produces to keep our skin healthy and supple.
Drink up
Hyaluronic acid is a common ingredient in many skincare products, including supplements, lip balms, sheet masks, eye drops, lotions, and moisturizers. These come in powders, capsules, serums, and creams, depending on the benefits you’re looking for.
For skin health, taking hyaluronic acid orally is best. Topical products like creams and lotions can only hydrate the surface of the skin; they can’t do much to promote healthy skin from within. So if beautiful, healthy skin is a priority for you, what you put in your body has a much bigger impact than what you put on your skin.

The ultimate power trio
The hyaluronic acid in Oasis works with two other key ingredients, vitamin C and marine collagen, to support beautiful, healthy skin from the inside out.
Vitamin C: A potent antioxidant that assists in natural skin regeneration and supports collagen synthesis. Vitamin C has been shown to help minimize melanin production (in vitro), which can lead to skin discoloration. Additionally, vitamin C positively impacts skin texture as well as hydration levels.
Marine collagen: A hypoallergenic protein with a low-molecular weight for easy digestion and absorption. This protein is rich in proline and alanine—amino acids that are essential building blocks for collagen in the skin. Marine collagen is sustainably sourced from post-food-production fish skin.
Each of these ingredients is a strong support system for the skin on its own. Throw them together and you maximize the benefits of each. Oasis is a powerful formula that does more than make your skin look good—it nourishes it, too.
