Processing Methods & Reference Formulations

A. Cosmetic cream

Dissolve Sodium Hyaluronate in the cold water phase with gentle stirring to prevent clumping and preserve its molecular integrity. Mix slowly to prevent clumping, allowing full hydration before emulsification. Add after emulsification if using heat-sensitive, high-molecular-weight grades.

Key IngredientsIndicative Dosage (% w/w)
Water (aqua)70-80%
Sodium hyaluronate0.1%
Hydrogenated polydecene20%
Steareth-23%
Steareth-211%
Cetearyl alcohol1.5%
Propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, parabens0.2%

B. Lip balm

Since Sodium Hyaluronate is water-soluble and lip balms are typically anhydrous, it can be incorporated by creating a stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. Use specialized emulsifiers to ensure stability and maintain the balm’s smooth texture and efficacy.

Key IngredientsIndicative Dosage (% w/w)
Beeswax20.00%
Shea Butter15.00%
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene15.00%
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride10.00%
Jojoba Oil10.00%
Castor Oil8.00%
Glycerin5.00%
Sodium Hyaluronate0.50%
Tocopherol (Vitamin E)1.00%
Flavor/Fragrance (optional)0.50%
Microcrystalline Wax5.00%

C. Hair shampoo

When adding Sodium Hyaluronate to a hair shampoo formulation, dissolve it first in deionized water at room temperature to prevent clumping.

Key IngredientsIndicative Dosage (% w/w)
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)15%
Cocamidopropyl Betaine5%
Sodium Chloride1%
Glycerin3%
Sodium Hyaluronate0.5%
Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride0.5%
Phenoxyethanol0.8%
Water70-80%
Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance

D. Lipstick

Use encapsulated or oil-dispersible Sodium Hyaluronate to enhance compatibility with the anhydrous lipstick base. Incorporate it during the final blending stage to ensure even distribution without affecting the product's texture.

Key IngredientsIndicative Dosage (% w/w)
Castor Oil40%
Candelilla Wax20%

FAQs - Sodium Hyaluronate

How does sodium hyaluronate differ from hyaluronic acid?
Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid. It is more stable in cosmetic formulations, dissolves more easily in water, and generally offers better bioavailability—allowing it to deliver the same hydrating benefits more efficiently.
Why do many products contain both hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate?
Combining both ingredients provides layered hydration. Hyaluronic acid primarily hydrates the skin’s surface, while sodium hyaluronate penetrates deeper and remains stable across a wider range of pH levels, enhancing the overall efficacy of the product.
Is sodium hyaluronate suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Sodium hyaluronate is gentle, non-irritating, and biocompatible, making it an excellent choice for sensitive or reactive skin types. It supports hydration without clogging pores or causing inflammation.
How does molecular weight affect sodium hyaluronate's performance?
Molecular weight plays a key role in how the ingredient works: Low molecular weight (under 500 kDa) penetrates deeper into the skin but offers less surface hydration. High molecular weight (1000+ kDa) forms a protective film on the skin's surface, delivering instant plumping and moisture retention.
Can sodium hyaluronate be used in anhydrous formulations?
While traditionally used in water-based products, certain specialized forms of sodium hyaluronate can be incorporated into anhydrous (water-free) formulations. However, their effectiveness depends on the skin’s hydration post-application, as water is needed to activate its moisture-binding capacity.
