Proprietary Technology

HyaluroSphere™ 4D

A four-form hyaluronic acid and xylitol-derived humectant complex designed to deliver layered hydration and help skin look immediately plumper, smoother and more supple.

Key Benefits

Provides multi-level surface hydration
Helps skin look plumper and smoother
Softens dehydration lines
Supports lasting moisture retention
Combines humectants with multiple HA forms

How It Works

Four declared hyaluronic materials bind water and form a moisture-supporting film at the skin surface, while the xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol and xylitol system adds complementary humectancy. Their combined action helps reduce the look of dehydration lines and maintain a smoother, more supple surface.

What It Is

HyaluroSphere™ 4D is ELVIS+ELVIN’s four-form hyaluronic acid hydration technology. The disclosed composition contains Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate—four related materials distinguished by salt form and hydrolysis rather than four unrelated actives.

These are paired with xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol and xylitol, a family of sugar-derived humectants that complements hyaluronic acid’s water-binding properties. Propanediol functions as both carrier and additional humectant.

The “4D” name reflects the four declared hyaluronic forms and their layered cosmetic hydration role. Exact molecular-weight distribution is a technical specification and cannot be determined from the INCI list alone.

What It Does

HyaluroSphere™ 4D helps replenish surface hydration and improve the appearance of skin affected by dryness or dehydration. It supports an immediate plumper look, smoother texture and a softer, more flexible feel.

The four hyaluronic materials contribute overlapping water-binding and film-forming benefits, while the xylitol-derived humectants support moisture distribution and retention. This multi-humectant approach can help reduce the visibility of fine lines caused by dehydration and improve light reflection from a smoother surface.

It is well suited to daily hydration formulas for all skin types, including skin that feels tight but may not lack oil. Results are temporary cosmetic hydration benefits and depend on the complete finished formula and regular use.

HyaluroSphere™ 4D FAQs

Common questions about this ingredient in skincare.

What is HyaluroSphere™ 4D?

HyaluroSphere™ 4D is an ELVIS+ELVIN proprietary hydration complex featuring four declared hyaluronic materials: Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate. These are paired with xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol, xylitol and propanediol. The system is designed to support water attraction, surface moisture retention, plumpness and smoothness.

Why combine four forms of hyaluronic acid?

The four materials differ by salt form and degree of hydrolysis, which can influence solubility, film formation, skin feel and distribution in a cosmetic formula. Combining them creates overlapping hydration and surface-conditioning effects rather than relying on one material alone. Exact molecular weights and percentages cannot be determined from the INCI list.

What does the “4D” designation mean?

The name reflects the four declared hyaluronic acid forms and their layered cosmetic hydration strategy. It does not mean the complex has been proven to penetrate four anatomical layers of skin. Any precise penetration or duration claim would require direct testing of the technology at its use level or of the finished product.

Can HyaluroSphere™ 4D reduce fine lines?

By increasing surface hydration and flexibility, it can temporarily soften the appearance of fine lines made more visible by dehydration. It does not permanently fill wrinkles or remodel deeper structural lines. Consistent use with a compatible moisturizer generally provides more reliable comfort than occasional application.

Is it suitable for oily, acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Humectant hydration can benefit dry, oily, combination and acne-prone skin because it attracts water without depending entirely on heavy oils. However, tolerability and congestion risk come from the complete finished formula, not this complex alone. Sensitive users should patch-test and introduce new products gradually.

How should a HyaluroSphere™ 4D product be used?

Apply the finished product according to its directions, usually to clean skin before heavier creams or oils. Following with a moisturizer can help reduce evaporation, particularly in dry or air-conditioned environments. The ideal amount and layering order depend on whether the technology is used in a serum, mask, lotion or cream.
