The Features of High Molecular Weight Sodium HyaluronateWith an average molecular weight of 1800–2200 kDa, this Sodium Hyaluronate belongs to the high molecular weight range. It contains ≥92.0% Sodium Hyaluronate, ≥45.0% glucuronic acid, with solution transparency of ≥99.0%. High-MW Sodium Hyaluronate is known for its moisture-retaining and film-forming properties, making it useful when surface hydration is an important part of the formulation. Recommended use level is 0.1–0.5%.
The Applications of High Molecular Weight Sodium HyaluronateIn hair care, 1800–2200 kDa Sodium Hyaluronate can be considered for shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and scalp care products, particularly in moisture-focused formulas. Its larger molecular size favors surface film formation rather than a penetration-led HA concept. The ingredient can also be used in skin care and other personal care systems where water-soluble moisturization is required. Comparable 1800–2200 kDa Sodium Hyaluronate grades are commercially positioned for Hair Care as well as other cosmetic applications.
Typical Customer Needs for High Molecular Weight Sodium HyaluronateMolecular weight is one of the first things formulators look at when comparing Sodium Hyaluronate grades. The 1800–2200 kDa range is relevant when surface moisture retention, film formation and high solution clarity are priorities. For specific projects, we provide customized ingredient solutions and formulation application support, covering grade selection, use level, addition method and compatibility with the existing formula.
