What it is & what it does

Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid and a powerful water-binding humectant.
It holds water in the outer skin layers, improving temporary plumpness, softness and smoothness. Molecular weight matters: different sizes can behave differently, so the finished formula determines how it feels and performs.
