Hyaluronic acid
Description
Hyaluronic acid, also called hyaluronan, is an anionic non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan widely distributed in connective, epithelial and nervous tissues. Hyaluronic acid has a unique water-retaining effect, making it an ideal natural moisturizer.
Properties of hyaluronic acid:
- lubrication and film formation, moisturizing, preventing skin damage, maintaining emulsion stability;
- skin nutrition, long-term hydration;
- trans-dermal absorption, deep hydration, rejuvenation, repair of skin damage.
Application of hyaluronic acid:
- skin care products: cream, emulsion, essence, lotion, gel, face mask;
- cosmetics: lipstick, eye shadow, foundation;
- cleansers: face wash, shower gel;
- hair products: shampoo, hair conditioner, hair styling gel, hair restoration products.
Below are the types of hyaluronic acid that you can order.
Table of suggested types of hyaluronic acid
Name | Molecular Weight (Da) | Efficiency |
Hyaluronic acid Oligo HA ultra-low-substituted | < 10 KDa | Transdermal absorption, deep hydration, repair damaged cells, remove free radicals |
Low-substituted hyaluronic acid | < 100 KDa | Easily absorbed by the skin, long-lasting skin hydration improves skin nutrition |
Medium substituted hyaluronic acid | 100-500KDa | High hydration and moisture retention |
Medium substituted hyaluronic acid | 500-1000KDa | High hydration and moisture retention |
Highly substituted hyaluronic acid | 1000-1500KDa | High hydration and moisture retention, promotes cell tissue regeneration |
Highly substituted hyaluronic acid | >1500KDa | High hydration and moisture retention, promotes cell tissue regeneration |
Recommendations for adding to the recipe:
0.1% – 0.5% for final products with hyaluronic acid in powder form (for example, foundation, eye shadow);
10% – 50% for final products with hyaluronic acid in the form of a solution (for example, shampoo, cream, etc.).
Shelf life: 2 years
Packaging: from 1kg
It is also possible to produce a narrower range of molecular weights to suit your requirements. For more detailed information about the types of hyaluronic acid to order, please contact our managers.
