Why does the skin need sodium hyaluronate

A need of this component is caused by its ability to moisturize the skin. One molecule of sodium hyaluronate can draw and retain up to 500 water molecules. Moreover, it makes a barrier film against moisture evaporation, fills in and reduces wrinkles and prevents their formation.

Under 25 years of age human body successfully copes with needed amount of sodium hyaluronate. After the age of 25-30 this process slows down significantly, the amount of sodium hyaluronate decreases.

How is sodium hyaluronate used in cosmetology

In beauty procedures and cosmetic products there are used two similar substances – hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate. They differ in molecule size, which affects difference in their properties.

Sodium hyaluronate is a derivative molecule of hyaluronic acid. It is developed by separating hyaluronic molecule from less significant components. This derivative molecule has less size, but still has its moisturizing features, and as a result of it, is able to get into the deep skin layers and has a wide range of positive actions:

• fills in and reduces wrinkles;
• makes a barrier film on the skin surface to prevent moisture evaporation;
• helps nutrients to penetrate into the deepest skin layers;
• intensifies the action of dermal fibroblasts, which are in charge of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin production.

Sodium hyaluronate proved its efficiency as a component of various cosmetic products, such as creams, gels, lotions. Their consistent use helps to improve skin health, fill it with nutrients, remove aging signs and keep the skin young.

Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid as a component of creams is less effective. It would be much better to use it for subcutaneous injections in such procedures as mesotherapy, face remodeling, biorevitalization.
