| Catalog Number | CI-SC-0041 |
| Product Name | Hyaluronic Acid MMW |
| CAS | 9067-32-7 |
| Description | Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide (large sugar molecule) that occurs in various tissues (skin, synovial fluids of joints, connective tissues). Responsible for tissue hydration, lubrication, & tissue stability, holds 500 times its own weight of water. The MMW (medium molecular-weight) form is made by enzymatically cleaving high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid into smaller fragments. Molecular weight 100-500kDa. Shelf-life up to 2 years if stored protected from humidity, sunlight and microbial contamination. |
| Solubility | Soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol and organic solvents |
| Appearance | White powder, no odor |
| Application | Hydrating gels, moisturizing creams & lotions, anti-aging & anti-wrinkle products, pre/after sun lotions, protecting / nourishing & moisturizing skin care products, products for sensitive or dry skin. |
| Storage | Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature |
| Composition | Sodium hyaluronate |
| Features And Benefits | One of the most powerful moisturizing agent availableMedium molecular weight hyaluronic acid has advantages of high-molecular hyaluronic acid (has also thickening properties) but also those of low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid (has good skin-penetrating properties).Provides smoothness and softening to the skinCan reduce the appearance of wrinklesIdeal ingredient after skin peels |
| GMO | GMO-free |
| HS Code | 3304995000 |
| INCI | Sodium hyaluronate |
| Manufacture | Hyaluronic acid is produced biotechnologically through microbial fermentation with the aid of the bacterium Streptococcus zooepidemicus and peptones and serums. |
| Preservation | Preservative-free |
| Purity Grade | No purity grade applicable |
| Raw Material Source | Glucose, soy peptone and Streptococcus zooepidemicus |
| Uses | Typically used at 0.1-5%. MMW hyaluronic acid is readily soluble in water and has slight thickening properties (forms thin gels). Hyaluronic acid needs to be carefully sprinkled into the water under constant high-speed stirring (preferably with a hand mixer or vortex mixer). The mixture starts then thickening and becomes a thin gel. At the point no additional hyaluronic acid can be added as there is no water left for hyaluronic acid to be dissolved in (additional hyaluronic acid would only form lumps). Solubility can be increased by heating up the solution to maximum 60oC (140oF). |
What is Hyaluronic Acid MMW and why is it important for skincare?
Hyaluronic Acid MMW, or middle molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, is a naturally occurring substance that plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin's youthful appearance. It helps keep the skin stable, safeguarded, and constantly renewed by acting as a humectant, drawing moisture from the surroundings to hydrate the skin. Its unique properties make it particularly beneficial for combating feelings of dryness and dehydration.
How does Hyaluronic Acid MMW differ from other types of Hyaluronic Acid?
There are different types of Hyaluronic Acid, classified by their molecular weight. Hyaluronic Acid MMW is a mid-sized molecule that has some penetrating qualities, allowing it to bind effectively with water in the skin's connective tissues. This property not only assists in guarding against wrinkles and fine lines but also helps create a temporary barrier due to its ability to cross-link with other HA molecules, offering both hydration and protective benefits.
Can Hyaluronic Acid MMW be used on all skin types?
Yes, Hyaluronic Acid MMW is suitable for all skin types, including dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin. As a humectant, it ensures effective hydration without over-moisturizing, which prevents the breakdown of key substances that maintain the skin's integrity. Its ability to attenuate the inflammatory response and promote regenerative healing also makes it gentle enough for sensitive skin.
What are the anti-aging benefits of Hyaluronic Acid MMW?
The anti-aging benefits of Hyaluronic Acid MMW stem from its capability to enhance skin hydration and improve elasticity. By maintaining adequate moisture levels, it helps soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, the temporary barrier it forms upon application aids in protecting the skin from environmental stressors while promoting the skin's natural regenerative healing processes.
How should I incorporate Hyaluronic Acid MMW into my skincare routine?
Hyaluronic Acid MMW can be integrated into your skincare routine through water-based moisturizers, serums, or other leave-on products. Using it daily helps ensure optimal hydration and anti-aging benefits, particularly when applied to cleansed skin before other treatments. Its versatile nature allows it to be layered with other skincare products to achieve enhanced results.
