| Name | Hyaluronic acid |
| INCI Name | Sodium Hyaluronate |
Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It is a powerhouse ingredient in skincare known for its exceptional hydrating properties. It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it highly effective in maintaining skin hydration and plumpness. Hyaluronic Acid also has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties and improves skin elasticity while reducing fine lines.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, primarily found in skin, joints, and connective tissue. It's a glycosaminoglycan, a molecule known for its ability to bind water, making it essential for hydration and cushioning.
It’s commonly used in skincare for hydration and plumping and in medical treatments like joint injections and eye care. The effectiveness varies depending on the molecular size:
High Molecular Weight (HMW-HA): Forms a film on the skin, offers surface hydration and protection.
Low Molecular Weight (LMW-HA): Penetrates deeper, enhances moisture and stimulates collagen.
Ultra-Low Molecular Weight (ULMW-HA): Reaches the deepest layers, supports cellular hydration and repair.
Cross-Linked HA: Chemically modified for long-lasting moisture; commonly used in dermal fillers.
Hyaluronic acid improves hydration by pulling moisture into the skin, helping to reduce dryness, improve elasticity, and smooth out fine lines. It also supports healing and soothes inflammation.
Hyaluronic acid is found in Brightening Manjistha Moisturiser, Silk Cream, and Revival Magical Toner—helping keep the skin hydrated, smooth, and radiant.
