Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)
Part of our Ingredient Glossary — educational information about raw materials we may use in our products. We don't sell raw ingredients.
Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most famous ingredients in modern skincare, and for good reason. It's a substance found naturally in our own skin that helps it stay hydrated and plump. We use its salt form, Sodium Hyaluronate, which has a smaller molecular size, allowing it to penetrate the skin more effectively.
When you add this fine white powder to water, it transforms into a beautiful, clear, silky gel. In our serums, it provides a signature slip and texture, but more importantly, it creates a reservoir of moisture on your skin. It grabs water from the air and from deeper layers of your skin, bringing it to the surface for a visibly plumper, dewier look.
It is important to know how to use it best. Because it's a humectant that draws water, it works most effectively when applied to damp skin or in a humid environment. This gives it external moisture to pull from. Sealing it in with a cream or oil then locks all that hydration in place, preventing it from evaporating.
Our Sodium Hyaluronate is sourced from the USA and is produced via fermentation, making it a vegan and highly pure ingredient. It's the simplest and most effective way to give thirsty skin a powerful drink of oil-free hydration.
