IntegriMOIST HA Powder HMW
(High Molecular Weight)
Short Description:
IntegriMOIST HA Powder HMW (High Molecular Weight) or Sodium Hyaluronate is a powerful humectant that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere at 1000 times its weight. It reinforces the skin barrier and helps the skin to retain moisture while reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). It is a potent molecule that occurs naturally in the skin, but its power diminishes as we age causing dry, wrinkled skin and a loss of firmness.
When first marketed to the industry, the Hyaluronic Acid molecule was quite large, and in order for the molecule to be available at various levels of the skin, the Hyaluronic Acid molecule was created in different molecular weights that range from low to high. Therefore, each molecular weight has a different effect either within, or on the skin when formulated in skin care and color cosmetics.
The weight of the Sodium Hyaluronate High Molecular Weight (HMW) version ranges between 1.5 – 2.0 Million Da, and since the molecule is so large, it sits on the skin’s surface with minimal penetration. As a result, it functions to protect and reinforce the skin barrier and excels at preventing Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). It is specifically efficacious in its ability to retain water and to promote cellular tissue regeneration. It hydrates and replenishes moisture loss and provides a skin plumping effect which helps to diminish the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
IntegriMOIST HA Powder HMW (High Molecular Weight) is a safe ingredient used for its intensely hydrating and protective skin barrier properties and is suitable for sensitive skin.
