Sodium Hyaluronate

What is Sodium Hyaluronate?

Sodium hyaluronate is like hyaluronic acid that went to graduate school—a more sophisticated, refined version of the molecule with enhanced penetration abilities. This salt form of hyaluronic acid has a lower molecular weight, allowing it to penetrate deeper into skin layers where it performs its moisture-binding magic. Think of it as a highly trained delivery specialist that can transport water exactly where your skin needs it most, not just on the surface. It's the skincare equivalent of precision irrigation rather than surface watering, ensuring hydration reaches multiple layers of skin for comprehensive plumping effects. For those seeking more substantive hydration that addresses fine lines and improves texture, sodium hyaluronate offers that perfect combination of immediate surface hydration and deeper, longer-lasting moisture reservoir creation.
