Composition analysis: Take you to know the "king of hydration" hyaluronic acid
Sodium hyaluronate is regarded as the gold standard of moisturizing ingredients in the field of skin beauty care, leading
the efficacy products market and becoming the benchmark ingredient most frequently mentioned and requested by beauty
seekers when talking about innovation, trends and efficacy.
But it has many other functions besides moisturizing, and today we will take a closer look at them.
1.What about hyaluronic acid ?
"Hyaluronic acid", also known as "hyaluronic acid" (HA), the molecular formula is (C14H21NO11)n, is a disaccharide unit
glycosaminoglycan composed of D-glucuronic acid and n-acetylglucosamine. As a common polysaccharide, it is widely
present in tissues and body fluids in the human body, such as joint fluid, cartilage, vitreous body, skin and umbilical cord,
and is an inherent component of the human body.
2.Is "hyaluronic acid" "sodium hyaluronate"?
Hyaluronic acid is widely known in the field of medical beauty, and the hyaluronic acid sold on the market is
generally presented in the form of its "sodium salt", and this form of hyaluronic acid is called "sodium hyaluronate".
Sodium hyaluronate is a more stable hyaluronic acid because it contains sodium and has greater stability and
penetration.Sodium hyaluronate can improve water solubility, easy to produce and use, in the organism, essentially
and hyaluronic acid is no different.
3. What does "hyaluronic acid" do?
Cosmetics field:
Hyaluronic acid, whose hyaluronic acid molecules can carry more than 500 times of water, is recognized as the best
moisturizing ingredient today, and is widely used in maintenance products and cosmetics, with significant anti-
wrinkle, anti-aging, and skin tightening effects. Clinically, it can be divided into small, medium and large molecular
hyaluronic acid according to its molecular weight.
Oligomerization molecular weight: 3,000 - 5,000 Dalton; | Transdermal absorption, deep moisturising, anti-aging, after-sun repair. |
Low molecular weight: 8,000 - 50,000 Dalton; 100,000 - 500,000 Dalton | Can penetrate deep into the cortex, replenish and lock water long-lasting moisturising, improve the role of skin nutrient absorption. |
Middle molecular weight: 500,000 - 800,000 Dalton; 800,000 - 1,500,000 Dalton | Skin feel smooth non-sticky and elastic, long-lasting moisturising, resistant to hyaluronidase degradation, can form a network of water film on the surface of the skin, locking water, water retention, isolation of pollution, anti-ultraviolet protection, skin protection. |
High molecular weight : 1,500,000 - 2,200,000 Dalton; More than 2,200,000 Dalton | Excellent lubrication and film-forming properties, moisturising, sun protection, thickening and stabilising emulsification. |
Other areas:
Hyaluronic acid can play an active role in a variety of biological processes such as skin repair, cancer diagnosis,
wound healing, tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory and immune regulation, and is currently used in
orthopedics, ophthalmology, gastroenterology and other fields.
All in all, as the extraction of hyaluronic acid continues to mature and the yield continues to improve, hyaluronic
acid will develop in parallel in many fields. Coupled with the continuous expansion of consumer demand for
effective skin care and medical beauty,the hyaluronic acid industry will continue to open up the market.
This will also become a strong driving force for hyaluronic acid to withstand the test of time and steadily
move forward.
