Heparan Sulfate Analog (HSA)

Also known as HSA, Sente HSA, low molecular weight heparan sulfate

What is heparan sulfate analog?

Heparan sulfate analog, or HSA, is a smaller copy of heparan sulfate, a sugar molecule your skin uses to hold water and pass repair signals between cells. The smaller size lets it sink in where the natural molecule can't. Sente holds the patent, and it suits dry, red, and sensitive skin.
