Product Function
Moisturizing and Hydrating
• Sodium hyaluronate has excellent water-binding capacity. It can bind a large amount of water molecules and form a hydrated gel in the skin or other tissues. This helps to keep the skin moist and prevent water loss, making the skin look plump and hydrated.
Lubrication and Shock Absorption
• In joints, sodium hyaluronate acts as a natural lubricant and shock absorber. It reduces friction between joints during movement and helps to cushion the impact, protecting the joint cartilage and improving joint function.
Tissue Repair and Anti-inflammatory
• It participates in the process of tissue repair by promoting cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Additionally, it can regulate the inflammatory response, reducing the release of inflammatory mediators and promoting the resolution of inflammation, which is beneficial for tissue healing.
Application
Cosmetics
• It is widely used in skincare products such as moisturizers, lotions, serums, and masks. These products with sodium hyaluronate can improve skin hydration, smooth fine lines, and make the skin more elastic and radiant.
Medical and Pharmaceutical
• Joint Diseases Treatment: In the treatment of osteoarthritis and other joint diseases, sodium hyaluronate can be injected into the joint cavity to supplement the decreased hyaluronic acid in the joint, relieve pain, improve joint mobility, and delay the progression of joint degeneration.
• Eye Surgery and Treatment: In ophthalmology, it is used as a viscoelastic agent in cataract surgery and other eye surgeries to protect the corneal endothelium and other eye tissues during the operation and maintain the shape of the eye chamber. It is also used in some eye drops to relieve dry eyes and improve eye comfort.
Regenerative Medicine
• In the field of regenerative medicine, sodium hyaluronate can be used as a scaffold material or a component of tissue engineering scaffolds to provide a three-dimensional structure for cell growth and tissue formation, promoting tissue regeneration and repair.
