What Is Sodium Hyaluronate?

Weinstein describes sodium hyaluronate as a fiber- or cream-like powder, which can be found inmoisturizersandserums.

It is especially beneficial for those withdry, dehydrated skin.

Shah says the reason for this discrepancy is because the terms are often used interchangeably in the beauty industry.

So what makes them different?

Two main factors: stability and ability to penetrate.

A face wash containing sodium hyaluronate will help remove dirt and impurities, without stripping the skin.

Lotions and gels will work similarly, improving the skin’s moisture barrier and acting as a protective product.

“It really helps to lock in the moisture.”

Sodium hyaluronate combats dry skin.
