Sodium Hyaluronic Acid/Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium Hyaluronic Acid, also known as Sodium Hyaluronate, is the sodium salt form of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body. It is widely known for its powerful hydrating properties, as it can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Sodium Hyaluronic Acid is commonly used in skincare and cosmetic formulations to improve moisture retention, enhance skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is preferred over Hyaluronic Acid for formulations due to its smaller molecular size, which allows for better skin penetration.

Applications:

• Skincare: Used in moisturizers, serums, creams, and masks for its hydrating and anti-aging benefits. It helps plump the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve skin elasticity.
• Haircare: Incorporated into shampoos, conditioners, and hair serums to enhance moisture retention in hair strands, improve manageability, and reduce dryness and frizz.
• Wound Healing: Used in dermatological formulations for its wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting faster recovery and skin repair.
• Injectables: Found in dermal fillers and aesthetic injectables for wrinkle reduction and volume restoration.
• Eye Care: Used in eye drops for its moisturizing and lubricating properties, helping relieve dryness and irritation.

Handling and Storage:

• Handling: Avoid inhalation of powder and ensure adequate ventilation. When handling in bulk, wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask to prevent skin and eye contact. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly closed and protected from moisture, as the product is highly hygroscopic and can clump when exposed to air. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures. Sodium Hyaluronic Acid is best stored at a temperature below 25°C (77°F).
