In the competitive landscape of personal care and health supplements, ingredient efficacy is everything. Sodium Hyaluronate (CAS No.: 9067-32-7), the sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid, remains the undisputed gold standard for hydration and tissue repair. As a highly sought-after active ingredient, it bridges the gap between advanced dermatology and nutritional science. This article details the specifications, functional properties, and industrial applications of our premium-grade Sodium Hyaluronate.
Technical Profile & Specifications
Our Sodium Hyaluronate is presented as a white or almost white powder or granules. It is odorless and characterized by its high hygroscopicity (moisture-absorbing capacity). Chemically identified by the molecular formula C28H44N2NaO23+, it is a glycosaminoglycan that excels in water retention.
Key Physical & Chemical Properties:
- Solubility: It dissolves readily in water to form a clear, transparent solution. This makes it ideal for serums and injectables where clarity is crucial.
- Insolubility: It is insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, or ether, ensuring stability in specific formulation environments.
- Hygroscopy: Due to its highly hygroscopic nature, proper storage is essential to maintain free-flowing powder characteristics.
Functional Advantages in Formulation
- Superior Skin Hydration: Sodium Hyaluronate has a smaller molecular weight than standard Hyaluronic Acid, allowing it to penetrate the epidermis more effectively. It can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing unparalleled moisturization for cosmetic applications.
- Lubrication and Viscoelasticity: In the human body, it acts as a lubricant in synovial fluid. For oral supplements and injections, it supports joint cushioning and mobility.
- Skin Repair and Soothing: It forms a breathable, hydrating film on the skin’s surface, reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and accelerating the healing of damaged or sensitive skin barriers.
Diverse Industrial Applications
- Cosmetics & Skincare: Widely used in essences, lotions, creams, masks, and lipsticks for anti-aging and hydrating effects.
- Ophthalmology: Used in eye drops and surgical aids (viscoelastic devices) due to its high clarity and lubricating properties.
- Orthopedics: A key ingredient in viscosupplementation injections for osteoarthritis treatment.
- Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into capsules and tablets for skin beauty and joint health support.
