Manufacturing & Formulation

Stability: HA is most effective in water-based systems

Texture: Higher molecular weights create cushion and slip, while lower weights offer lightweight absorption

Compatibility: Performs best when balanced with humectants and emollients

Delivery: Multi-weight systems help extend hydration release over time

The Science of HA

Attracts and retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water for deep, lasting hydration
Improves resilience and moisture retention
Enhances elasticity and smooths fine lines for a plumper complexion
Optimizes delivery and performance of other actives through sustained hydration

Types of Hyaluronic Acid

Different molecular weights and botanical analogs of Hyaluronic Acid deliver hydration at every level, from surface smoothing to deep, long-lasting moisture.

Hyaluronic Acid

High Molecular Weight.

Creates a breathable film on the skin’s surface for immediate smoothing and hydration. Ideal for serums and creams.

Hydrolyzed HA

Low Molecular Weight.

Smaller fragments penetrate deeper into the skin, improving elasticity and reducing fine lines over time.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Stable, bioavailable salt form of HA.

Provides long-lasting hydration and pairs well with almost any formulation type.

Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide

Botanical HA.

A plant-derived alternative that mimics HA’s moisture-binding properties while providing a silky, natural feel. Excellent for clean or vegan-focused lines.

Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans

Sugar-chain molecules.

Enhance moisture retention and support collagen and elastin networks, improving firmness and bounce.

Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide

Snow mushroom.

A natural humectant that can hold up to 500 times its weight in water. Offers antioxidant benefits and a luxurious slip often preferred in gels and emulsions.

Product Line Extensions

Best Pairs With: Niacinamide, Peptides, Ceramides, Vitamin C

Recommendation: Pair multi-weight HA with humectants and ceramides to amplify barrier repair and lock in long-term hydration.

Cross-Sell Opportunities: Bundle the MMHA Serum with Kale Protein Cleanser, Niacinamide Vita Mist Toner, and Vitamin C Moisturizer for a complete AM line.

Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt form, smaller, more stable, and better able to penetrate the skin for lasting hydration.

Yes. In fact, it helps counteract dryness and irritation caused by potent actives, making it an ideal layering ingredient.

Multi-molecular HA uses several molecular sizes to hydrate at multiple skin depths, instantly plumping the surface while improving deeper elasticity and resilience over time.

It hydrates the scalp, reduces flakiness, and smooths the hair shaft, leaving hair softer, shinier, and easier to manage.

Concentration matters less than molecular diversity. Multi-weight systems are more effective than high-percentage single-weight formulas.
