👉 The granny fluid, also known as hyaluronan, is a complex carbohydrate found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues throughout the body. It plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue structure and hydration, acting as a natural lubricant and facilitating cell-to-cell communication. In the context of skin health, hyaluronan contributes to plumpness and elasticity by retaining water within the dermis. Interestingly, the term "granny fluid" is a colloquialism that humorously refers to its high concentration of hyaluronan, which diminishes with age, leading to the skin's loss of moisture and firmness.
