Sodium hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid in salt form. What makes sodium hyaluronate special is that it can hold 1000 times its weight in water. Additionally, sodium hyaluronate molecules are smaller and more easily absorbed into the skin than hyaluronic acid.
As a result, sodium hyaluronate is an extremely popular skincare ingredient and has the following benefits:
- Moisturizes and plumps skin
- Reduces inflammation
- Smooths and softens skin
- Reduces and prevents wrinkles
