Founding Team
Hylunia was co-founded 30 years ago by Brian Jegasothy, MD, former Chairman, Department of Dermatology at the University of Pittsburgh, with anti-inflammatory products, free of inflammatory ingredients, and endocrine disruptors. Hylunia’s products contain no preservatives, no parabens, no fragrance, no lanolin, no alcohol, no dyes and no propylene glycol. The plant-derived wasabi, olive leaf, and citrus extracts, ethyl hexyl glycerin, caprylyl glycol, and capryl hydroxamic acid are combined to help in product preservation. The products are formulated with healing in mind and are non-occlusive in nature. Hyaluronic acid is used to supply the oxygen and hydration needed for wound healing and absorption of water-soluble effective ingredients.
