What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA), commonly supplied to formulators as Sodium Hyaluronate, is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan with the reference CAS 9004-61-9 (Sodium Hyaluronate: 9067-32-7). In cosmetic and personal-care regulations its INCI name is Sodium Hyaluronate. As a high-purity, water-soluble biopolymer, HA is one of the most trusted moisturizing and tissue-supporting raw materials for premium skincare, nutricosmetics, and joint-health products worldwide.
How It Works
HA’s defining property is its exceptional water-binding capacity — a single gram can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in moisture. This builds a continuous hydration reservoir within the skin and the extracellular matrix, visibly plumping fine lines and restoring elasticity. At the molecular level, HA also engages cell-surface receptors such as CD44 to support tissue repair, calm inflammation, and maintain the structural integrity of cartilage and connective tissue.
Because VeraVita supplies multiple molecular-weight grades (low, medium, and high), brands can target distinct skin layers: low-weight HA penetrates deeper for long-term firming, while high-weight HA forms an instant surface film for smooth, conditioned skin.
