What is 1% sodium hyaluronate solution

With the promotion of “hyaluronic acid” related products in the fields of beauty care and medical health, “1% sodium hyaluronate solution” has gradually come into the public eye. This solution with sodium hyaluronate as the core active ingredient plays a significant role in multiple fields due to its excellent moisturizing properties and biocompatibility. So, what exactly is a 1% sodium hyaluronate solution?

Sodium hyaluronate, abbreviated as HA-Na, is the sodium salt form of the well-known “hyaluronic acid”. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring linear polysaccharide in the human body, widely distributed in tissues such as the skin, synovial fluid of joints, and vitreous body of the eye, and it has physiological functions of moisturizing, lubricating, and buffering. Compared with hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate has better water solubility and higher stability, and is easier to be made into solutions, gels and other product forms, thus becoming the mainstream choice in market applications. ​

The “1%” in “1% sodium hyaluronate solution” refers to the mass concentration, that is, in every 100 grams (or 100 milliliters) of the solution, there is 1 gram of sodium hyaluronate active ingredient, and the remaining 99% is mainly purified water. Some products will add a small amount of stabilizers, pH regulators and other auxiliary components. However, these auxiliary ingredients are not included in the category of “1% active substances”.

This 1% concentration is backed by strong scientific support. Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt form of Hyaluronic Acid, which naturally exists in the human body. Its most astonishing property is its powerful water-holding capacity. Theoretically, one gram of sodium hyaluronate can combine up to one liter of water, just like a microscopic “super water-absorbing sponge”. A concentration of 1% is sufficient to provide it with outstanding moisturizing performance, effectively locking in moisture while offering a pleasant skin feel.

1% sodium hyaluronate solution is worth noting that the “1% concentration” has its own rules, but it is not the only criterion for measuring the effect. Because concentration is not the only factor determining the effect of the product. The molecular mass of sodium hyaluronate has a significant impact on the effect. High-molecular sodium hyaluronate (> 1000kDa) can form a moisturizing film on the skin surface, reducing water evaporation. Low-molecular-weight/oligosaccharide sodium hyaluronate (< 100kDa) can theoretically penetrate the skin surface and participate in the moisturizing or repairing of the dermis. Even if the concentration is the same at 1%, solutions of different molecular masses can have significant differences in their uses and effects. ​

1% sodium hyaluronate solution stands out among numerous products with its unique properties. Its high moisturizing property is particularly remarkable. Sodium hyaluronate molecules can combine with more than 1,000 times their own weight in water. A 1% concentration solution can form a uniform moisturizing layer on the surface of the skin or mucous membranes, making it suitable for moisture replenishment in dry environments. ​

Meanwhile, as a derivative of the natural components of the human body, sodium hyaluronate has good biocompatibility, is non-allergenic (unless the product contains impurities), and has extremely low irritation to the skin, joint cavity, ocular surface and other tissues. In addition, a 1% concentration is classified as “medium to low concentration”, with a relatively low viscosity of the solution, similar to essence water or thin gel, good fluidity, easy to apply and absorb, and no heavy or sticky feeling.

1% sodium hyaluronate solution is widely used in the field of beauty and skin care due to its strong adaptability. 1% sodium hyaluronate solution is an important ingredient in essence, moisturizing masks, ampoules and toner, which can improve dry skin and make the skin texture smooth. It is also often found in facial mask essences, combined with ingredients such as vitamin C and ceramides, to enhance the effect of hydrating and repairing. In skin care formulas, it is rarely used alone precisely because this 1% of the essence is a powerful “infrastructure”. Based on this, the formula designer will blend other active ingredients (such as vitamin C, nicotinamide or peptides) to jointly build a high-performance skin care product. It not only offers core moisturizing functions, but its smooth texture also provides an excellent usage experience.
