About this ingredient

Potassium hyaluronate is the potassium salt form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring humectant that binds water molecules to the skin. It is widely used in skincare formulations to provide deep hydration, improve skin plumpness, and support the skin barrier. This ingredient has a lower molecular weight than sodium hyaluronate in some formulations, potentially allowing for better skin penetration.
