About this ingredient

Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring polysaccharide that functions as a humectant to draw moisture into the skin. Due to its lower molecular weight compared to hyaluronic acid, it penetrates the skin more effectively and provides superior hydration, plumping, and skin barrier support. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and improves skin elasticity and moisture retention.
