Sodium Hyaluronate

Low risk

FunctionHydration

What it is — Sodium Hyaluronate (INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate) is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It is more stable and typically lower in molecular weight than the parent acid, and is usually made by fermentation.

What it does — Like hyaluronic acid, it is a humectant used to bind water in the upper layers of skin and scalp. Its smaller molecular size is often described as helping it spread and absorb more readily, supporting a smooth, hydrated feel.

Typical use — A very common hydrating ingredient in toners, serums, ampoules, creams and scalp tonics; frequently combined with hyaluronic acid across several molecular weights.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Works well layered under occlusive moisturizers and pairs easily with niacinamide, panthenol and glycerin.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk, with no known irritation concerns for most users. This is general information, not medical advice.
