What Is Sodium Hyaluronate?
Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid, naturally present in human skin where it helps maintain moisture and plumpness. This smaller molecular form penetrates more effectively than its parent compound, delivering hydration to deeper skin layers.
Capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water, Sodium Hyaluronate acts as a powerful humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin. It forms a breathable film on the surface that prevents transepidermal water loss while maintaining skin comfort.
