06 May 2024 --- A Givaudan-backed study confirms the hydrating benefits of cationic hydrochloric acid at the clinical level due to its “strong” film-forming properties. The molecule showed noticeable benefits at all tested concentrations after seven days of application. The researchers evaluated the hydrating benefits of the molecule using a combination of clinical biometrics and cognitive measurements. This was done to determine how biological benefits correlated with volunteers’ feelings and perceptions of hydration.
