Sodium Hyaluronate (C14H22NNaO11) is the salt form of Hyaluronic Acid (C33H54N2O33), the most talked-about skin ingredient in the town today. While, these are related, and both known to be great hydration agents, reducing fine lines, reducing wrinkles, etc. They both help to keep skin moisturized and appear more shiny, soft, and supple.
Both can hold 1000 times their weight in water. This simply means they can cling 1000 molecules of water to just one of their molecule. It kind of makes a water retention tank in the skin. Viola, that’s a great moisturizer – and it’s ‘readymade’!
We have been deploying both these ingredients for years now, and one form definitely stands as our favourite.
It’s Sodium Hyaluronate, the salt form.
The reason is pretty scientific yet very simple to explain. Sodium Hyaluronate has a much smaller size and molecular weight (403 grams per mole) and that property make it penetrate deeper into the skin, keeping the skin moisturized and hydrated deep inside. Compared to Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid has a molecular weight of 846 grams/mole.
The smaller molecular size makes the Sodium Hyaluronate’s skin penetration ability go way beyond Hyaluronic acid. It also is more stable in its salt form compared to liquid form.
Our years of research have also found that Sodium Hyaluronate has no adverse side-effects when used in skincare products. Honestly, we have never even come across – 1 single feedback on any allergies, adverse effects on any of our volunteers, or any patron’s skin.
We have been using this magical ingredient ‘Sodium Hyaluronate’ in our entire face wash range, and there’s a whopping 5 exotic aromas to try from. We are the ones waiting for your skin type to meet you soon.
