Hyaluronic Acid Powder
Raw Material for Skincare Formulation | Available in Egypt | Multiple Molecular Weights
Product Description
Hyaluronic Acid Powder (INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate) is one of the most in-demand active ingredients in modern cosmetic formulation. A powerful humectant capable of binding up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it is the gold standard for hydration in serums, moisturizers, eye creams, and hair care.
At Al-Assasi Chemicals, we stock multiple molecular weight grades — each with a distinct skin behavior — so formulators can choose the right grade for their specific product and performance target.
Which Grade Do You Need?
| Grade | Molecular Weight | Skin Behavior | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra Low MW | 10 KDa | Penetrates deepest skin layers | Anti-aging serums, wrinkle-filling |
| Low MW | 280 KDa | Penetrates upper dermis | Active serums, repair creams |
| High MW | 800 KDa | Forms film on skin surface | Moisturizers, lightweight serums |
| High MW | 800–1200 KDa | Premium surface hydration & film | Luxury creams, hair serums |
Pro tip: Most high-performance serums use a blend of 2–3 molecular weights to target multiple skin layers simultaneously. Ask us about multi-grade pricing.
Typical Usage Rate
0.1% – 2.0% (w/w) depending on grade and desired texture. Higher concentrations create a gel-like feel; lower concentrations deliver invisible hydration.
How to Incorporate
- Disperse powder in a small amount of glycerin (optional, helps prevent clumping)
- Add to the water phase of your formula at room temperature
- Stir gently until fully dissolved — avoid high shear mixing
- For LMW grades (10 KDa), dissolution is faster; for HMW grades allow 15–30 minutes
Compatible With
Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Peptides, Panthenol, Allantoin, most preservative systems. Avoid high concentrations of alcohol which may reduce viscosity.
