Buy Hyaluronic Powder (High Molecular Weight) 

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide in the body that helps retain moisture, cushion cells, and keep skin plump and hydrated. As we age, our natural levels decline leading to dryness, dullness, and fine lines.

This High Molecular Weight (HMW) form of Sodium Hyaluronate sits on the surface of the skin, forming a breathable, moisture-retaining film that delivers instant hydration, softens texture, and improves elasticity. It also helps structure and thicken water-based products like serums, gels, and moisturisers.

How we use Hyaluronic HMW Power

  • Hydrating facial serums and gels
  • Moisturisers and emulsions
  • Sheet masks and rinse-off masks
  • Spritz sprays and mists
  • Cleansers and toners

Hyaluronic (HMW) Specifications

INCI Name: Sodium Hyaluronate
CAS Number: 9067-32-7
Molecular Weight Range: 1 Million – 1.8 Million Daltons
Form: Fine white powder
Solubility: Water soluble
pH Stability: 4 – 9
Usage Rate: 0.05 – 2.0% (up to 3% for gel textures)
Origin: Biotechnologically derived from corn-based glucose via microbial fermentation 

How to formulate with Hyaluronic Powder (HMW)

  • Add to the water phase of your formulation.
  • Best hydrated by dispersing in water before adding to emulsions or gel bases. It can take a while to hydrate.
  • Avoid adding directly to a finished product or emulsion.
  • Typical use level is 0.1–2%
  • To create a gel use 1.5-3%

Gel Texture Tip:

  • 0.1–0.5%: Light hydration boost
  • 1.0–1.5%: Smooth, medium-weight serum
  • 2.0–3.0%: Crystal-clear gel with strong viscosity

What’s the difference between HMW and LMW Hyaluronic Acid Powder?

The key difference is in the molecular size, which affects how each type works on the skin:

  • High Molecular Weight (HMW) Hyaluronic Acid has larger molecules (approx. 1.0–1.8 million Daltons) that sit on the surface of the skin, forming a protective film. It hydrates, smooths, and locks in moisture at the outermost layer, and also helps thicken gels and serums.

  • Low Molecular Weight (LMW) Hyaluronic Acid has smaller molecules (approx. 100k–600k Daltons) that penetrate deeper into the skin. It offers longer-lasting hydration, helps plump fine lines, and supports skin barrier repair.

Both offer powerful hydration, but HMW is best for surface hydration and texture, while LMW works deeper for firming and moisture retention. Many advanced formulas use both for layered hydration benefits.
