10g Sodium Hyaluronate (HMW)

Sodium Hyaluronate (HMW) is the sodium salt form of Hyaluronic Acid, specifically processed with a high molecular weight structure, typically ranging from 1,000 kDa to 2,000+ kDa. It is one of the most respected moisture-binding actives in modern skincare because of its extraordinary ability to attract and retain water holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water under ideal conditions.

Unlike low molecular weight grades that penetrate deeper into the skin, HMW Sodium Hyaluronate primarily works on the skin’s surface and uppermost layers, where it creates an invisible hydrating film that helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), improve moisture retention, and instantly enhance skin softness, smoothness, and plumpness.

What makes this ingredient especially valuable in formulation is its ability to deliver immediate visible hydration benefits. Skin often feels softer, fresher, bouncier, and more supple shortly after use. Over consistent use, it supports a healthier-looking skin barrier, reduces the appearance of dehydration lines, and improves overall skin comfort especially in dry, sensitive, dehydrated, mature, or compromised skin.

High Molecular Weight Sodium Hyaluronate is widely used in serums, gels, moisturizers, toners, hydrating mists, masks, eye products, soothing treatments, anti-aging products, after-sun care, and barrier-repair formulations. It is particularly loved for premium hydration-focused products because consumers can genuinely feel its effects on the skin.

One important formulation advantage is that HMW Sodium Hyaluronate gives products a luxurious skin feel often contributing slight viscosity, slip, cushioning, and elegant glide without heaviness when properly formulated.

Sodium Hyaluronate

CAS Number:

9067-32-7

Appearance:

White to off-white fine powder, granules, or fibrous powder

Country of Origin:

China

Formation:

Produced through controlled microbial fermentation followed by purification and conversion into the sodium salt form for improved stability and formulation compatibility

Optimal formulation range: pH 5.0 – 7.0

Recommended Usage Percentage:

0.05% – 0.5%

Typical usage guide:

• Light hydration products: 0.05–0.15%
• Serums & toners: 0.1–0.3%
• Intensive hydration products: 0.2–0.5%

Higher percentages are not always better. Overuse can create excessive tackiness or unpleasant stringiness.

• Urea
• Mild surfactants

Use caution with extremely acidic or highly alkaline systems.

Mixing Phase & Temperature Range:

Water Phase / Cool Down Phase preferred

Recommended handling:

• Pre-disperse in glycerin or another humectant to reduce clumping
• Add gradually into water with continuous mixing
• Best processing temperature: below 40°C

Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, as excessive temperature may degrade molecular structure and reduce performance.

Application:

Suitable for formulating:

• Hydrating serums
• Facial moisturizers
• Gel creams
• Face masks
• Toners
• Hydrating mists
• Eye creams
• Anti-aging products
• Barrier repair products

Performance:

Delivers both immediate and long-term hydration support by attracting and retaining moisture on the skin surface. It forms a breathable moisture-locking film that helps improve hydration levels while reducing moisture loss.

Key performance benefits include:

• Provides intense hydration
• Helps reduce dehydration lines
• Improves skin softness and smoothness
• Enhances skin plumpness and bounce
• Supports skin barrier function
• Reduces dryness and tightness
• Improves overall skin comfort
• Creates a healthier, fresher skin appearance
• Adds luxurious slip and sensory feel to formulations

For dehydrated skin, the effect is often noticeable very quickly, skin feels calmer, softer, and more comfortably hydrated.

Storage:

Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Recommended storage temperature: 15–25°C

Shelf Life:

24 months when properly stored in unopened original packaging

Precaution:

• For cosmetic formulation use only.
• Avoid direct inhalation of powder during handling.
• Always seal properly after use to prevent moisture absorption.
• Conduct stability and compatibility testing before large-scale production.
• Improper hydration or excessive usage may lead to clumping, tackiness, or undesirable texture in finished formulations.

From a formulator’s perspective, HMW Sodium Hyaluronate is less about deep penetration and more about instant visible hydration, moisture protection, and luxurious skin feel. If your goal is to create products that make users say “my skin feels hydrated, smooth, soft, and plump immediately,” this is one of the best actives to work with. It remains a gold-standard ingredient in premium hydration and barrier-support skincare for good reason.
