DNAHumectant

✓High molecular weight DNA acts as a hydrating film-former on the skin surface, binding water through its phosphate backbone and providing an immediate moisturizing effect
✓Low molecular weight/hydrolyzed DNA fractions are absorbed more readily and may participate in cellular recognition processes supporting skin renewal
✓Used in premium Korean and European skincare as an intensive hydrating and skin-conditioning active; distinct from medical-grade PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) used in aesthetic injections

⚠Typically sourced from salmon milt (salmon sperm) — not vegan; individuals with fish allergy should exercise caution
⚠Should not be confused with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) treatments used in aesthetic medicine — topical cosmetic DNA does not penetrate to the cellular level to function as PDRN does
