Hyaluronicacid and chitosan • Hyaluronicacid and chitosanarethe most popular cosmetichydrophilicHMW ingredients of moisturizing and film-forming activity. • Hygroscopicity • Chelatingproperties • Hyaluronicacidiswidelyusedinpharmacetical industry (in wounddressingsamongothers) and aestheticmedicine (filler). • Hyaluronicacidhydrolysis/degradation products possessbiologicalactivity • Chitosanisalsousedinwoundhealing, intextile industry, as chelating agent etc.
Materials and methods • We investigated the influence of low concentrations of chitosanglycolate (CG) and hyaluronic acid (HA) after topical applicationfrom: • Hydrogelscontaining 0,2-0,6 % w/w of thepolymer • Oil-in-wateremulsionscontaining 0,2-0,6 % w/w of thepolymer • on the: • Skin barrierproperties (TEWL measurementin controlled temperature and humidity conditions) • Skin hydration (corneometricmeasurementincontrolled temperature and humidity conditions) • Basic skin sensory parameters
Materials and methods • Sensory evaluation was performed on the group of 10 trained panelists with dry or normal skin in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. • The evaluation consisted of the assessment of • the general and visual criteria (consistency, adhesion), • feelings during the application (spreadability) • afterfeel (tackiness, skin smoothness) • Thefive-point sensory scale was applied (from 1 - “the worst” to 5 - “the best”).

Skin barrier assessment • Investigated HMW polymersstronger influence TEWL reduction by hydrogelsthan by emulsions, • In morecomplex systems thepolymer influence could be masked by otheringredients (emollients?) • In hydrogels: thehigherconcentration of polymer , thestronger TEWL reduction, • But: we investigated TEWL on the group of panelists of damaged/impairepidermalbarrier (↑TEWL), investigations on the group of normalbarrierpropertiesshould be conductedinthefuture.

Corneometric evaluation results • Strong film-forming properties of CG and HA causecorneometrycompletelyuselessmethod for skin hydrationevaluation of hydrogels and oil-in-wateremulsionscontaining ≥0,2% of thepolymer • As TEWL is not goodindicator of hydration, the sensory subjectiveassessmentremains a way for thatkind of evaluation
Sensory evaluation • Becausehydrogelswereperceived by panelistsduring TEWL and hydrationassessmentas „too film-forming” and „unpleasant”, we havecheckedonly sensory parameters of polymer-containingemulsions.

Sensory evaluation results for o/w emulsions containing from 0,2 to 0,6% of chitosan
Sensory evaluationresults • For CG-containing emulsions a dependence of polymer concentration on received scoring is strong, • Preparation of 0.6 % CG concentration is standing out high tackiness, so this parameter was assessed to the only 1 point • Emulsions containing hyaluronic acid are less sensory-dependent on thepolymerconcentration. • Only high concentration of the HA influences on the tackiness of cosmetic. • HA-containingemulsionswerebetteracceptedthanCG-containingemulsions. • As sensory parametersarestronglyformulation-dependent, resultsof ourexperiments cannot be treated as the general rule withoutfurtherresearch
