Sodium Hyaluronate (NMW 1.0M–1.5M – DELTON Grade)

• INCI Name:
  Sodium Hyaluronate
• Molecular Formula:
  (C₁₄H₂₀NO₁₁Na)ₙ (polymeric glycosaminoglycan salt)
• CAS Number:
  9067-32-7
• Alternate Names:
  • Hyaluronic Acid Sodium Salt
  • Sodium Hyaluronate (High Molecular Weight)
  • HA (1.0–1.5 MDa grade)
  • DELTON HA
  • Moisture Binding Polymer

Key Benefits:

• Deep hydration and long-lasting moisture retention
• Forms protective moisture film on skin surface
• Improves skin plumpness and elasticity
• Reduces appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration
• Enhances skin smoothness and softness
• Supports skin barrier function and comfort

Benefits & Uses (Short):

• Powerful humectant for skincare formulations
• Provides intense surface hydration and moisture lock effect
• Used in serums, creams, gels, sheet masks, and eye care products
• Improves skin texture and glow appearance
• Ideal for anti-aging and hydration-focused products

Recommended Usage Level:

• Serums: 0.1% – 1.0%
• Creams & Lotions: 0.05% – 0.5%
• Gel formulations: 0.1% – 0.3%
• Sheet masks: 0.2% – 1.0%
• Eye gels: 0.1% – 0.5%

How It Works (Short):

• Works as a high molecular weight hydrophilic polymer that binds large amounts of water (up to 1000x its weight)
• Forms a breathable, water-retaining film on the skin surface
• Prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL), maintaining hydration balance
• Sits on the skin surface (due to high MW), providing immediate plumping and smoothing effect
• Improves skin elasticity by maintaining optimal hydration environment
• Works synergistically with glycerin, panthenol, and other humectants for enhanced hydration systems

FAQs:

Q: What does high molecular weight HA (1.0–1.5M) do differently?
A: It stays on the skin surface and provides strong film-forming hydration and immediate plumping.

Q: Is Sodium Hyaluronate better than Hyaluronic Acid?
A: Sodium Hyaluronate is more stable and easier to formulate in water-based systems.

Q: Can it be used daily?
A: Yes, it is very gentle and suitable for daily skincare use.

Q: Does it penetrate deep into skin?
A: High molecular weight versions mainly work on the surface; lower MW penetrates deeper.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, it is one of the most skin-friendly hydrating ingredients.
