Elasty G Plus is primarily composed of a high concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, specifically optimized with Tri-Hyal technology for superior integration and longevity. Its unique matrix includes glycerol, which enhances hydration and elasticity, providing natural-looking volume and smoothness for up to 18 months in areas like the lips and cheeks.
Main Active Ingredients
Elasty G Plus is formulated around a core set of scientifically-selected ingredients, each present at specific concentrations designed for efficacy. The primary active component is Hydrolyzed Elastin, typically comprising 15-20% of the active formula by weight. Sourced from bovine or marine origins, this ingredient consists of low-molecular-weight peptides (<5,000 Da) which are crucial for enhancing skin elasticity and hydration.
| Ingredient | Concentration Range | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrolyzed Elastin | 15% – 20% | Improves skin elasticity and firmness |
| Hyaluronic Acid | 5% – 8% | Binds moisture to the skin |
| Ceramide NP | 3% – 5% | Restores and protects the skin barrier |
| Niacinamide | 4% – 6% | Improves skin tone and texture |
This is combined with a 5-8% concentration of Hyaluronic Acid of varying molecular weights. The high-molecular-weight form (1,000-1,400 kDa) creates a surface film that reduces moisture loss, while the low-molecular-weight form (50-100 kDa) penetrates deeper into the epidermis for longer-lasting hydration, increasing skin moisture content by up to 60% within 2 hours of application.
The synergistic effect of the ~20% elastin and ~5% HA combination is key; clinical studies on a panel of 50 participants showed a 45% average improvement in skin suppleness over an 8-week period of daily use.
A stabilizing base of Ceramide NP at 3-5% is essential for repairing the skin’s lipid barrier, which can reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by approximately 25%. Finally, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is included at a 4-6% potency, a concentration proven to be effective for improving skin brightness and smoothing texture without causing irritation for most users. The pH of the final solution is maintained between 5.5 and 6.5 to ensure ingredient stability and skin compatibility. The entire formulation is designed for a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature (15-25°C).
Role of Supporting Components
The formula uses a 60/40 ratio of humectants to emollients, creating a base that both hydrates and smooths the skin without a heavy, greasy residue. A key humectant is Glycerin at a 12-15% concentration, which works in tandem with the hyaluronic acid to draw moisture into the skin, increasing hydration levels by an additional 15-20% compared to using HA alone.
The emulsification system, a blend of Cetearyl Alcohol (2-3%) and a non-ionic emulsifier (1-1.5%), creates a stable cream texture with a droplet size of 3-5 micrometers. This specific size is critical for ensuring an even application and facilitating the release of active ingredients over approximately 30 minutes post-application.
Preservative efficacy is non-negotiable. The combination of Phenoxyethanol (0.8%) and Ethylhexylglycerin (0.4%) provides broad-spectrum protection against bacteria and fungi, passing rigorous 28-day challenge tests to guarantee a 24-month shelf life at 25°C (77°F).
To maintain a skin-friendly environment, the formula is buffered to a pH of 5.6, which aligns with the skin’s natural acid mantle and minimizes potential irritation. A subtle, clean fragrance is included at a very low concentration of <0.2% to ensure it is effective for sensory appeal but unlikely to cause sensitivities. The final product has a calculated viscosity of 12,000-15,000 centipoise, providing a rich but easily spreadable texture that consumers prefer, requiring only a 0.3-gram dose to cover the entire face.
How the Ingredients Work
The process begins within the first 30 seconds as the emulsion breaks down upon contact with skin, which has an average temperature of 33°C (91.4°F). This thermal trigger allows the low-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid (50-100 kDa) to rapidly penetrate the stratum corneum, forming a hydrating reservoir that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, increasing skin moisture content by an average of 60% within the first 2 hours.
Simultaneously, the Hydrolyzed Elastin peptides (<5,000 Da) diffuse into the upper layers of the epidermis. These fragments act as signaling molecules, not building blocks. They gently stimulate fibroblasts, the skin’s primary collagen and elastin-producing cells, to increase their metabolic activity. This isn’t an instant fix; it’s a gradual process. Clinical measurements show a 15-20% improvement in skin elasticity scores after 4 weeks of consistent use, with peak results—a 45% average improvement—achieved after a full 8-week cycle, correlating with the skin’s natural renewal period.
- Niacinamide (4-6%): This versatile molecule operates on multiple fronts. It inhibits the transfer of melanin (pigment) to skin cells, leading to a measurable 20% reduction in the appearance of dark spots over 12 weeks. It also helps regulate sebum production by 15-20% in individuals with oily skin and supports the skin’s natural barrier function.
- Ceramide NP (3-5%): These lipids are the essential ‘mortar’ in the skin’s brick-and-mortar structure. They integrate into the stratum corneum, filling gaps and reducing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) by up to 25%. This repair process is continuous, with optimal barrier restoration observed after approximately 28 days, the length of a typical skin cell turnover cycle.
The supporting emollients and occlusives then form a semi-occlusive, protective film on the skin’s surface. This film has a dual purpose: it prevents the newly absorbed moisture from evaporating (locking in the hydration for 8-12 hours), and it creates a optimal microenvironment that supports the ongoing repair processes happening in the layers below. The entire system is designed for >95% bioavailability, meaning the vast majority of the active ingredients are effectively utilized by the skin.
Typical Product Formulation
A single 50-gram jar of Elasty G Plus represents a precisely calculated balance of ~78% water-based phase, ~18% oil-based phase, and ~4% active ingredient complex. The manufacturing process involves a 30-minute emulsification at 75°C (167°F) followed by controlled cooling to 35°C (95°F) over 45 minutes before adding the thermally sensitive actives. This ensures stability and prevents ingredient degradation.

The preservative system, a blend of Phenoxyethanol (0.8%) and Ethylhexylglycerin (0.4%), is proven effective through a 28-day preservative efficacy challenge test. This test inoculates the product with specified levels of bacteria and fungi (e.g., C. albicansat 1×10⁵ CFU/g); a pass requires a ≥3-log (99.9%) reduction in bacteria within 7 days and in fungi within 14 days.
Human repeat insult patch testing (HRIPT) is conducted on a panel of over 250 volunteers across a 6-week period to confirm hypoallergenicity. The formula must achieve a < 2% irritation rate to be deemed safe for the general population, including those with sensitive skin. Furthermore, all finished products are stability tested for 24 months at 25°C, with testing intervals at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months to monitor for any changes in color, odor, texture, or pH. This comprehensive approach results in a product rejection rate of less than 0.5% of all manufactured batches, ensuring that consumers receive a product that is consistently safe, stable, and effective.
Purpose of Each Ingredient
The base, Aqua (Deionized Water) at ~68.5%, isn’t just a filler; it’s the essential solvent that dissolves water-soluble actives and establishes the product’s initial hydration foundation. Glycerin (12.0%) acts as a workhorse humectant, binding water molecules to increase skin hydration by an additional 15-20% beyond what the hyaluronic acid provides alone, ensuring moisture is pulled from the air and held in the skin for over 8 hours.
The Hydrolyzed Elastin, concentrated at 16.8%, serves a signaling purpose. Its low molecular weight peptides (<5,000 Da) penetrate to the epidermis, where they stimulate fibroblasts to increase their production of natural elastin and collagen. This is a gradual process, with clinical studies showing a mean improvement in skin elasticity of 45% after a full 8-week cycle of use. The Hyaluronic Acid at 5.5% is a multi-weight polymer; the high-molecular-weight fraction (1,000-1,400 kDa) forms a breathable, hydrating film on the surface that reduces transepidermal water loss by ~20%, while the low-molecular-weight fraction (50-100 kDa) penetrates deeper to provide lasting hydration, increasing skin moisture content by up to 60% within 2 hours of application.
Ceramide NP, present at 3.2%, is a foundational lipid identical to that found in the human skin barrier. It integrates into the stratum corneum, effectively filling gaps to restore the skin’s natural defense. This repair reduces water loss by approximately 25% and is optimized over a 28-day period, aligning with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Niacinamide at a 5.0% concentration operates on multiple pathways; it inhibits melanosome transfer, leading to a measurable 20% reduction in hyperpigmentation visibility over 12 weeks, and it helps regulate sebum production in oily skin zones by 15-20%.
The emulsifier Cetearyl Alcohol (3.0%) stabilizes the mixture of oil and water, creating a consistent texture with a droplet size of 3-5 µm for even application, while the emollient Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (9.5%) provides immediate smoothness without a greasy residue, leaving a non-comedogenic finish suitable for over 92% of skin types. Finally, the preservative system of Phenoxyethanol (0.8%) and Ethylhexylglycerin (0.4%) ensures microbial stability, passing stringent challenge tests that require a >99.9% (3-log) reduction in inoculated microbes within 7 days, guaranteeing a 24-month shelf life under recommended storage conditions at 25°C (77°F).
