Description

Example 1

[0071] 1. Hyaluronic acid with a high molecular weight (9 mg/ml) and ROC® (6.66 mg/ml) were mixed in an aqueous solution and the water was heated at 95° C. for 30 minutes. [0072] 2. The resultant solution from 1. was cooled down to 65° C. and, once it was reached the said temperature, the preservatives potassium sorbate (1 mg/ml-0.10%) and sodium benzoate (0.6 mg/ml-0.07%) were added. [0073] 3. The resultant solution from 2. was subsequently cooled down to 20° C. [0074] 4. Quality checks were made on the resultant solution from 3. [0075] The final formulation is a liquid composition which comprises (% expressed in weight/final weight): [0076] Water: 98.28% [0077] Hyaluronic acid: (9 mg/ml): 0.90% [0078] ROC (6.66 mg/ml): 0.66% [0079] Preservatives: 0.16%
