| INCI Name | Sodium Hyaluronate | |
| Description | A low molecular weight (~500 KDa) linear polysaccharide composed of regularly alternating units of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. Produced by fermentation. Not preserved. | |
| Application | For moisturizing and anti-aging products. Smaller molecular weight penetrates deeper into the stratum corneum, and stimulates corneocyte differentiation and production of NMF components. Also recommended for aftersun products because of anti-inflammatory benefits after UV exposure. | |
| Dose | 0.01 – 0.25% | |
