Ingredients Details
Sodium Hyaluronate
Common Name(s): Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid,naha
CAS Number: 9067-32-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides hyaluronic acid hydration in the most formulation-stable and compatible form.
Why It's Used: The standard form of ha used in cosmetics – more stable than free ha, better solubility, and equivalent skin hydration benefits.
How It Works: Sodium salt reduces the polyelectrolyte repulsion of ha chains, allowing better packing in formulations. on skin, sodium ions dissociate and the ha chain unfolds to its full water-binding conformation. provides full ha humectant and barrier benefits equivalent to free ha.
Typically Found In: Hydrating serums,toners,moisturizers,sheet masks,anti-aging products

Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
The sodium salt form of ha has approximately 10% better water solubility than free hyaluronic acid at equivalent molecular weight due to reduced chain-chain electrostatic repulsion from partial sodium counterion screening. this improved solubility enables higher concentration formulations without viscosity issues.
