Choosing Your Hyaluronic Acid: Understanding Molecular Weights for Skincare
Hyaluronic Acid, or Sodium Hyaluronate, is not a one-size-fits-all ingredient. Its efficacy in skincare is largely determined by its molecular weight, which dictates its penetration depth and functional properties. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides a range of cosmetic grade hyaluronic acid to cater to diverse formulation requirements. Understanding these differences is key to unlocking the full potential of this versatile ingredient.
Lower molecular weight Hyaluronic Acids (e.g., below 10,000 Daltons) are small enough to penetrate the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. This allows for deeper hydration and can help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines from within. These are excellent for targeted treatments and serums focused on deep skin rejuvenation.
Mid-range molecular weights (e.g., 200,000 to 600,000 Daltons) offer a balance, providing both surface hydration and some degree of penetration. They are effective at improving skin smoothness and barrier function, making them versatile for daily moisturizers and lotions. Many seek this range for comprehensive hyaluronic acid for anti-aging benefits.
High molecular weight Hyaluronic Acids (e.g., over 1,000,000 Daltons) remain on the skin's surface, forming a protective, hydrating film. This layer helps to prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL), keeping the skin moisturized and plumped. They are excellent for creating a smooth, dewy finish and protecting the skin from environmental stressors. For those wanting to buy skincare ingredients that provide immediate surface-level benefits, high molecular weight HA is ideal.
