Description: Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) is a natural polysaccharide (sugar) that occurs in body tissues including the skin providing hydration, stability, lubrication. The SLNW (super low-molecular-weight) form is made by enzymatically cleaving high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid into small fragments. Molecular weight <50kDa. Smaller molecules enhance skin penetration. Biotechnologically produced from glucose, soy peptone & yeast extract. Off-white odorless, fluffy powder. Water-soluble. CAS# 9067-32-7. |

Properties: One of the most powerful humectants known, provides smoothness & softening to the skin, excellent anti-wrinkle effects, promotes growth of new skin cells after peelings, soothes irritated skin. Due to the much smaller molecular size of the molecule compared to regular hyaluronic acid, skin penetration is better. |

Use: Typically used at 0.1 - 1%. Like regular hyaluronic acid, low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid may also clump when mixed with water. Adding some glycerin or using a high-shear mixer is recommended to avoid clumping. The consistency is less "fluffy" than compared to the regular high molecular hyaluronic acid. |

Application: Hydrating gels, moisturizing creams & lotions, anti-aging & anti-wrinkle products, pre/after sun lotions, protecting / nourishing & moisturizing skin care products, products for sensitive or dry skin. |
