What is Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)?
Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid powder is also named hyaluronan powder. It is an anionic, nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan, naturally present in the human body. It is found in the highest concentrations in fluids in the eyes and joints. It's molecular weight is from several ten thousand to several million. It's aqueous solution has outstanding moisture keeping ability, high viscoelasticity and lubricity.
It is commonly a sodium salt, called sodium hyaluronate, habitually called hyaluronic acidHyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate). Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) is a new biological at home and abroad. Its molecular weight is from several ten thousand to several million. It's aqueous solution has outstanding moisture keeping ability, high viscoelasticity and lubricity. It is widely used in cosmetics, pharmacy and health and beauty food.

Product Application
1. Food Industry.
Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) can be added into drinks, mink products, health care capsules, etc.
2. Cosmetic Industry
(1) <10,000Da (Super Low Molecular Weight):
Making Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) smaller means it can reach a bit farther into skin's uppermost layers for visibly enhanced results, so it has the best effect of moisturzing and anti-aging.
(2) 10,000Da-200,000Da (Low Molecular Weight)
Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) has better moisture effect than regular molecular weight.
(3) 200,000Da-1,600,000Da (Regular Molecular Weight)
Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) can retain moisture, keep the skin firm, and prevent wrinkles by adding volume to the skin.
(4) >1,600,000Da (High Molecular Weight)
Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) can keep moisturing for longer time, and repair skins.
3. Eyedrop Industry
Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate)can be used in eye surgeries including cataract removal, corneal transplantation, and repair of a detached retina and other eye injuries.
4. Injection Industry
Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) can be made into Hyaluronic Acid(Sodium Hyaluronate) filler used on our body, like face, lip, breast, etc.
