The skin benefits of sodium hyaluronate

Need some help with ageing skin? We’ve told you about hyaluronic acid. But have we told you about the wonders of sodium hyaluronate?

Sodium hyaluronate is a counterpart to hyaluronic acid. While some people may feel slight irritation to hylauronic acid, sodium hyaluronate is not known to be irritating to skin, (people who get filler injections with hyaluronic acid in the form of Restylane may experience some localized irritation after the procedure). Here’s some other benefits, according to SkinStore.com:

Unlike some moisturizing products, moisturisers and cleansers that contain sodium hyaluronate don’t leave a “greasy” feel to the skin.

This makes sodium hyaluronate beneficial as a moisturiser for most skin types. In moisturisers, it may be combined with other hydrating ingredients that form a protective layer on the surface of the skin, further increasing skin’s ability to hold onto water.

Since hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the dermis of the skin, products that contain sodium hyaluronate help to replace hyaluronic acid lost as a result of the natural skin aging process and sun exposure.

The highly concentrated intensive care offered by Maria Galland Profilift 3D Serum 249 lifts tired facial contours with a mix of different hyaluronic acids and sodium hyaluronate. These counteract loss of moisture and firmness caused by a low level of natural hyaluronate in the skin. The molecules in hyaluronic acid firm the cell matrix, resculpt the weakened skin structure and make for instant visible smoothness. The polysaccharides in konjac root plump up the skin and give it more volume. Squalane obtained from olive oil stabilises the skin’s lipid barrier and promotes the absorption of vitamins. Salicornia herbacea stimulates the formation of water channels in the skin, providing it with optimum moisture and strengthening cell cohesion – a natural moisturiser comes into being. The main active ingredients are hyaluronic acid, konjac root, squalane, salicornia herbacea.

To use, simply apply in the morning and/or evening before using the care cream.
