Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between high, mid, and low MW Hyaluronic Acid?
High MW (800-1500 kDa) is best for topical hydration and surface-level skin effects. Mid MW (200-500 kDa) is balanced for both topical and ingestible applications. Low MW (5-50 kDa) has the best intestinal absorption for ingestible beauty formulations.
Q2: What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in skin, joints, and connective tissue. It can hold up to 1000x its weight in water, making it an exceptional hydrating ingredient.
Q3: Can Hyaluronic Acid be combined with other ingredients?
HA is commonly combined with Collagen, Vitamin C, and Biotin in beauty-from-within formulations. In skincare, it is paired with Niacinamide and Ceramides. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.
Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) is permitted as a food / cosmetic / supplement ingredient in the EU. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is HA purity measured?
HA purity is quantified via glucuronic acid content (HPLC or carbazole method) or via HPLC for total disaccharide content per USP / industry-standard methods.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 1 kg. Smaller quantities (100-500g) are available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific MW range, particle size, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.
Q8: What documentation is available?
Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
