Hyaluronic Acid ( Low Molecular Weight)

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid

Fast-absorbing humectant to support deep hydration, skin plumpness, and improved moisture dynamics in cosmetic formulations.

INCI Name: Sodium Hyaluronate

Molecular Weight: 10–50 kDa 

Appearance: White to off-white powder

Solubility: Water soluble

Function: Humectant, skin-conditioning agent

Low Molecular Weight Sodium Hyaluronate is characterized by its smaller molecular size, allowing it to hydrate efficiently and contribute to a plumper, more hydrated skin appearance without forming a heavy surface film.

What It Does

Low Molecular Weight Sodium Hyaluronate is commonly used in cosmetic formulations where rapid hydration, improved skin suppleness, and enhanced moisture availability are desired.

Compared to higher molecular weight grades, this low molecular weight form hydrates more quickly and contributes to a smoother, more plumped skin appearance while maintaining a lightweight, non-tacky feel.

Key Benefits

• Supports fast-acting hydration
• Helps improve skin plumpness and suppleness
• Enhances moisture distribution within the skin
• Provides a lightweight, non-sticky skin feel
• Suitable for modern hydration-focused formulas

Suggested Use Level

• Typical use: 0.05–0.2%

How to Incorporate

• Dissolve directly into water with gentle mixing.
• Hydrates relatively quickly compared to high molecular weight grades.
• Add during the water phase or pre-hydrate before formulation.

Formulation Notes

• Compatible with most water-based cosmetic systems.
• Often combined with medium and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for multi-level hydration.
• Does not form a heavy surface film.
