Hyaluronic Acid is produced by fermentation from glucose & yeast extract. It is a “natural moisturizer” that is non-GMO, ECOCERT, and COSMOS certified. It is suitable for different skin types, and climates. It forms a breathable film on the surface of the skin it locks in skin moisture, and protects the skin from external stressors. It has been widely used in cosmetics because of its high moisturizing power, excellent stability and safety.
Super Low Molecular Weight: 37.5 – 50 K Dalton
Cosmetic Benefits
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is enzymatically cut up to produce a super low molecular weight (SLMW) hyaluronic acid of less than 50,000 Daltons. This very low molecular weight reduces its viscosity in water, but improves its ability to penetrate the upper layers of the skin.

Formulation Advice
Although this molecular weight does not provide any gelling abilities, it can still clump when adding to your formula. Therefore, it is advised to either disperse in glycerin before adding to the vessel, or incorporate into the formula using agitation or high shear mixing.
