SODIUM HYALURONATE CROSSPOLYMER

Description

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is an advanced skincare ingredient derived from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body. This innovative compound is created through a cross-linking process that enhances its molecular structure, resulting in improved stability and prolonged hydration effects compared to standard hyaluronic acid.

The crosspolymer forms a three-dimensional network on the skin's surface, providing a reservoir of moisture that is gradually released over time. This sustained hydration helps to plump the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve overall skin texture. Its larger molecular size prevents it from penetrating deep into the skin, allowing it to form a protective barrier that locks in moisture and other beneficial ingredients.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is particularly effective in formulations designed for dry or mature skin types. It offers excellent compatibility with other skincare actives and can enhance the efficacy of various formulations. This ingredient is generally well-tolerated and suitable for sensitive skin. Its ability to provide long-lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy makes it a valuable component in serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging products.
