This nano-sized hyaluronic acid powder (200–500 nm) transforms skincare formulations by enabling deep dermal penetration — a breakthrough compared to traditional HA molecules that remain on the skin’s surface. When reconstituted, it forms an ultra-light, non-sticky gel that delivers intense hydration and plumping effects, with 98% absorption into the epidermis and dermis within 2 hours . Ideal for cosmetic serums, creams, and masks, it addresses both immediate hydration needs and long-term skin barrier repair, making it a staple in professional and at-home skincare routines.
Nanotechnology Advantage:
Enhanced Penetration: Nano particles bypass the stratum corneum’s lipid barrier, reaching the viable epidermis and upper dermis — layers where HA naturally resides . Confocal microscopy studies show 5x deeper penetration than standard HA (>1,000 nm).
Sustained Release: Forms a moisture reservoir within the skin, providing continuous hydration for 24 hours. Slowly releases HA as skin moisture levels decline, maintaining optimal hydration balance .
Formulation Flexibility:
1% Concentration: Perfect for daily serums and moisturizers, providing lightweight hydration suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone.
5% Concentration: Designed for intensive treatments like post-peel recovery or anti-aging masks, delivering concentrated hydration to repair compromised skin .
Stability:
Shelf-stable for 24 months when stored in a cool (15–25°C), dry place away from direct light. Resistant to oxidation and microbial growth, maintaining efficacy in formulations without preservatives .
Reconstitution:
Dissolve 1–5g of powder in 100ml sterile water, aloe vera gel, or hydrosol (e.g., rose water) for fragrance. Stir gently at room temperature — avoid heating, as high temperatures may degrade molecular structure. Allow 15–30 minutes for full dissolution.
Application:
Apply 2–3 drops of reconstituted serum to cleansed skin morning and night, patting gently until absorbed. Layer with a moisturizer or facial oil to seal in hydration.
Combination:
Synergizes with peptides (e.g., Matrixyl 3000) to boost collagen synthesis, or niacinamide (5%) to enhance skin barrier function. Compatible with vitamin C (up to 10%) when pH is adjusted to 3.5–5.0 .
Is it safe for acne-prone skin?
Yes, its non-comedogenic (pore-clogging) formula is tested on acne-prone skin, showing no increase in breakouts. Its lightweight texture balances oil production by 25% in 4 weeks, reducing shine without over-drying .
Can it be used in DIY formulations?
Yes, but ensure sterile equipment and ingredients to prevent microbial contamination. Add preservatives (e.g., phenoxyethanol 0.5%) for formulations intended to last >7 days.
How does it compare to traditional HA?
Nano HA provides 3x deeper hydration (measured via corneometry) and maintains skin moisture for 72 hours, compared to 24 hours with standard HA. It also stimulates endogenous HA production, providing long-term benefits beyond topical application .
