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.
