A white, water-soluble Sodium Hyaluronate powder for lightweight hydration-focused skincare. Lower-MW grades generally add less viscosity than HMW grades, making them useful in serums, essences and light emulsions. Practical paid trial sizes support bench evaluation before bulk sourcing.
• Supports hydration and a smoother, more supple skin feel in finished cosmetic formulas.
• Lower-MW grades generally add less viscosity than HMW Sodium Hyaluronate. [R5–R6]
• Water-soluble powder for controlled aqueous-phase dispersion. [R5–R6]
• Online sizes: 10 g - 500 g; larger quantities by bulk quote.
• Formulation and export support from bench evaluation through scale-up.

Quick Formulation Guide
|
Decision point |
Practical buyer guidance |
|
Phase / solubilization |
Water-soluble — add to the water phase before emulsion formation [R5–R6] |
|
Viscosity expectation |
Expect less gel-building than HMW Sodium Hyaluronate; add separate rheology when more body is needed. [R5–R6] |
|
Storage / handling |
Keep sealed and dry [R5] |

Research & References
In a 60-day study, 0.1% HA creams across several molecular weights improved skin hydration and elasticity; 50 and 130 kDa groups also improved wrinkle-depth measures. [R7] .Reviews show that molecular weight changes HA behavior and skin interaction; lower-MW forms generally show greater penetration than large HMW material. [R8]
