Sodium hyaluronate is a hydration active used in cosmetic formulations to support moisture retention.

Key benefits

Supports hydration
Improves skin feel
Film-forming
Lightweight

Behaviour in formulations

Forms a film and helps retain moisture within the formulation.

Disperse into water with mixing and allow time for full hydration. Avoid adding directly without dispersion.

Use level considerations

Use Rate (Min): 0.05
Use Rate (Max): 0.5

Serums: 0.1–0.3%
Gels: 0.1–0.5%
Creams: 0.1–0.3%

Starter Use Rate: 0.1–0.3%

Typically used at 0.05–0.5%.

Formulation summary

Water Soluble - Requires Hydration Time

Sodium hyaluronate is used as a hydration active and film-forming polymer in water-based formulations.

It contributes to moisture retention and helps create a smooth, hydrated skin feel. Due to its polymeric nature, it should be properly dispersed and allowed time to fully hydrate.

Quality notes

Cosmetic-grade sodium hyaluronate with defined molecular weight and high purity, supporting consistent formulation performance.
