INGREDIENT OVERVIEW
Hyaluronic Acid 1% Solution (LMW)
Hyaluronic Acid 1% Solution is a pre-hydrated system containing 1% sodium hyaluronate, designed for easy integration into water-based formulations.
It eliminates the need to disperse and hydrate hyaluronic acid powders, reducing variability and improving consistency in formulation. This makes it suitable for both beginner and professional formulators.
In formulation, it functions as a humectant and film-forming polymer, helping to support moisture retention and improve overall skin feel.
Prepared using low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate and preserved for stability, this solution provides a controlled and reliable approach to hydration systems.

- Emulsion system
Troubleshooting
- stringiness → reduce level
- too thick → adjust percentage
- low hydration feel → layer with other humectants
COMPARISON & ALTERNATIVES
- Sodium hyaluronate powder → requires hydration and dispersion
- Glycerin → simple humectant
