Shop this ingredient →

A pre-hydrated hyaluronic acid solution used to support hydration in cosmetic formulations.

What is Hyaluronic Acid 1% Solution (LMW) & why is it used?

It is used to provide hydration without requiring dispersion of hyaluronic acid powder.

QUALITY MATTERS

Why specification quality matters

Prepared using low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate with controlled purity and molecular profile.

Pre-hydrated for consistent viscosity and dispersion, reducing variability associated with powder systems.

Solubility Water soluble
Primary function Active
Use level 1.0–50.0%

Behaviour in formulations

Hyaluronic Acid 1% Solution acts as a film-forming humectant, supporting moisture retention and increasing viscosity. 

At higher levels, it can contribute to stringiness and thicker textures. As a pre-hydrated system, it provides consistent and predictable behaviour without the variability of powder dispersion.

Sensory notes

Provides a smooth, hydrated skin feel with light film formation and improved moisture retention without heaviness.

Formulation considerations

PROCESSING

Add directly to the water phase or during cool-down with mixing until uniform.

COMPATIBILITY

Compatible with most water-based systems. Works well with humectants, soothing agents, and
polymers.

pH
Stable across typical cosmetic pH ranges.
FORMULATION EXAMPLES

Hydrating serum

  •  Hyaluronic solution: 10–20%
  • Water phase
  • Humectants

 Gel

  • Hyaluronic solution: 15–30%
  • Gelling system

 Cream

  • Hyaluronic solution: 3–10%
  • Emulsion system

Use level considerations

Recommended range 1.0–50.0%
Suggested starting level 5–20%%

Hyaluronic Acid 1% Solution is used based on its dilution into the final formulation.

At typical use levels (5–20%), it delivers approximately 0.05–0.2% active sodium
hyaluronate in the finished product.  

  • 5% → ~0.05% active
  • 10% → ~0.1% active
  • 20% → ~0.2% active

Higher levels increase viscosity and film formation rather than proportionally increasing hydration performance. 

Formulation summary

A pre-hydrated hydration system designed for ease of formulation and consistent results.

Quality notes

Prepared using low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate with controlled purity and molecular profile.

Pre-hydrated for consistent viscosity and dispersion, reducing variability associated with powder systems.
