Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
Science & Benefits
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is a sophisticated, 3D 'mesh' version of hyaluronic acid. Unlike standard HA, which can be absorbed quickly or evaporate, this cross-linked version stays on the skin's surface longer, acting as a reservoir that continuously delivers water into the epidermis. It can bind up to five times more water than regular hyaluronic acid, providing long-term hydration and forming a breathable film that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This film-forming ability helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and protect the skin barrier from environmental stressors without any risk of clogging pores or causing irritation.
