Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a glycosaminoglycan found in the various connective tissue of humans. It occurs naturally in the human body and is central to regulating cell growth and renewal. In fact, it is found extensively in connective, epithelial, and neural cells. As such, hyaluronic acid has found its way into many skincare products, it can retain moisture, keep the skin firm, and prevent wrinkles by adding volume to the skin. It is also used to prevent the effects of aging. It is regarded as “the key to the fountain of youth.”

Sodium Hyaluronate aqueous solution of high viscosity will enable the water phase thickening; emulsified with the oil phase even after the fine paste, the role of a stable emulsion is to prevent cells produce a number of enzymes to reduce the formation of free radicals in the prevention of free radical damage to cell structure, resulting in lipid peroxidation and aging, such as the body has an important role.

Sodium Hyaluronate vs Hyaluronic Acid

The role of cosmetic grade sodium hyaluronate on the skin surface, molecules of hyaluronic acid can be formed on the surface of the skin layer of breathable film, the skin smooth and moist, and blocking external bacteria, dust, and UV intrusion, protecting the skin from infringement; small molecule transparent acid could infiltrate into the dermis, with a slight expansion of capillaries to increase blood circulation, improve intermediary metabolism, and promote the role of the skin to absorb nutrients, eliminate wrinkles with strong features, increase skin elasticity, slow down skin aging.

Hyaluronic acid can promote epidermal proliferation and differentiation of cells to remove oxygen-free radicals and can prevent and repair skin damage. The hyaluronic acid aqueous solution of high viscosity will enable the water phase thickening; emulsified with the oil phase even after the fine paste. The role of a stable emulsion is to prevent cells from producing a number of enzymes and to reduce the formation of free radicals in the prevention of free radical damage to cell structure, resulting in lipid peroxidation and aging, such as the body has an important role.

Sodium hyaluronate is used to treat skin ulcers such as bed sores or diabetic foot ulcers, as well as burn wounds, surgical incisions, cuts, abrasions, and other skin irritations.

Sodium hyaluronate topical is also used to treat dry or scaly skin.
