INCI: Sodium hyaluronate

Hyaluronic Acid Powder is a cosmetic grade sodium hyaluronate used to prepare hydrating gels, serums, and water-based solutions. This high molecular weight version is commonly chosen for a cushioning, moisture-supporting skin feel and is best suited to formulation rather than direct use. It is water soluble, but it needs time to hydrate properly, so slow mixing and resting time are an important part of working with it. This is a raw material, not a ready-to-use serum.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Hyaluronic Acid Powder because it gives formulators precise control over texture, strength, and final product style. It is a practical ingredient for makers who want to build their own gel and serum systems rather than rely only on pre-made solutions.

Q: Why does Hyaluronic Acid Powder need hydration time?
A: The powder absorbs water slowly and needs time to fully swell and form a smooth solution.

Q: Can it be applied directly to the skin as a dry powder?
A: No. It should first be prepared into a suitable water-based solution or formulation.

Q: Can it be used at high percentages?
A: It can, but higher levels may feel tacky or form very thick gels, so many formulas stay below 2%.

Q: Do I need a preservative when making a solution?
A: If you plan to store a water-based solution for repeat use, an appropriate preservative is recommended.
