Sodium Hyaluronate

Ingredient Info

Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in your skin that acts like a moisture magnet. In skincare products, it absorbs water from the environment and binds it to your skin, helping to hydrate and plump the skin's surface.



Benefits

  • Delivers intense hydration to the skin
  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines by improving skin moisture
  • Supports skin barrier function
  • Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and oily skin

Potential concerns

  • In very dry climates with low humidity, it may draw moisture from deeper skin layers if not sealed with an occlusive product
  • Rare allergic reactions are possible but extremely uncommon

Science: While the provided research focuses on intra-articular injections for joint health (showing good safety and efficacy), hyaluronic acid and its salt form are well-established in dermatology for topical hydration. The molecule's safety profile is well-documented across decades of use in medical and cosmetic applications, with severe adverse reactions being extremely rare.
