High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Powder for DIY Skincare

What Is High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (HMW-HA)?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in human skin and connective tissues. It’s well known for its remarkable ability to retain moisture — up to 1,000 times its own weight in water!
High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (HMW-HA) refers to the larger molecule form (usually above 1,000 kDa). In skincare, it stays mainly on the surface of the skin, forming a light, moisturizing film that helps reduce water loss and gives a soft, hydrated feel.
Why Choose HMW-HA for DIY Skincare?
If you love making your own skincare products, HMW-HA powder is a gentle and beginner-friendly choice.
- Moisture Retention: Creates a breathable, hydrating layer on the skin.
- Gentle for All Skin Types: Non-irritating and vegan-friendly.
- Texture Enhancer: Adds a smooth, silky feel to creams, gels, and serums.
- Eco-Friendly: Made by fermentation, biodegradable, and cruelty-free.
How to Use It in DIY Formulations
Recommended usage: 1% – 2%
Solubility: Water-soluble
Formulation phase: Add during the water phase. Allow full hydration(Just sprinkle the HA powder evenly on the surface of the water phase, and wait 4-8 hours, or let it sit overnight) before mixing with other ingredients. And refridge the homemade serums for refreshness.
