Sodium hyaluronate, with the chemical formula (C14H20NO11Na)n, is an inherent component of the human body and a glucuronic acid. It is widely present in the human placenta, amniotic fluid, lens, articular cartilage, skin dermis and other tissues and organs. It is distributed in the cytoplasm and intercellular spaces, and has a lubricating and nourishing effect on the cells and cell organs contained.
Sodium hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid Sodium), also known as sodium hyaluronic acid, is an ingredient widely used in skin care products, medicines and health care products. It mainly has the following effects:
1. Skin moisturizing
Strong water absorption capacity: Sodium hyaluronate can absorb and lock hundreds of times its own weight of water, providing deep hydration for the skin.
Water-locking barrier: Form a moisturizing film on the skin surface to prevent water loss.
2. Improve skin elasticity
By replenishing water and promoting the production of collagen, the skin becomes tighter and more elastic, and the phenomenon of dryness and sagging is reduced.
3. Repair skin
Promote the repair of the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and help damaged skin recover.
4. Anti-aging skin
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles: Deep moisturizing makes fine lines less noticeable, while providing support for the skin and slowing down wrinkle formation.
5. Lubricating effect
In the medical field, sodium hyaluronate is used for joint lubrication (such as injection into the knee joint to treat osteoarthritis), reducing joint friction and pain.
6. Promote wound healing
Sodium hyaluronate can promote cell migration and proliferation, help wounds heal faster, and reduce scar formation.
Common uses:
Skin care products: such as facial masks, essences, lotions, etc., mainly moisturizing and anti-aging.
Medical beauty products: such as injectable fillers, improve skin condition or adjust facial contours.
Joint health: used for joint injections or supplements to relieve osteoarthritis symptoms.
As a naturally occurring substance, sodium hyaluronate is relatively safe, but when using it, you should choose a suitable product according to your own needs and product concentration.
