About this supplement
Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in connective tissues, skin, and cartilage. It is known for its ability to retain moisture, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products. Sodium hyaluronate has a smaller molecular size compared to hyaluronic acid, allowing it to penetrate the skin more effectively and provide hydration at deeper levels. It is used in various formulations for its moisturizing, anti-aging, and skin-repairing properties.
