Request a QuoteProduct Overview
Sodium Hyaluronate Medium Molecular Weight (1,000-1,500 K Da) is the most versatile grade in the hyaluronate range — striking the ideal balance between film formation, moisturizing depth, and sensory elegance. Its polymer chain length provides enough molecular weight for effective surface film-forming and thickening, while remaining light enough for excellent spreadability and partial epidermal penetration. It is the most popular HA grade for premium daily-use skincare products.
As a food ingredient, medium MW sodium hyaluronate supports joint health, skin moisturization, and overall wellness in dietary supplements. UPOR Biotech provides complete regulatory documentation (COA, MSDS, stability data, TSE/BSE statement) with every shipment.

Key Benefits
Balanced Film-Forming
Good surface film protection — not as heavy as high MW HA, but more effective than lower MW grades. Ideal for daily-use formulations.
VersatileSuperior Sensory Feel
Non-tacky, smooth, and silky texture. Excellent spreadability and absorption compared to high MW HA. Preferred for serums and lightweight moisturizers.
Sensory ExcellenceGood Water Binding
Binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Maintains effective surface hydration without the heaviness of high MW grades.
HydrationFormulation Flexibility
Works well across all product types — water-based serums, emulsions, gels, and masks. Easier to disperse than high MW HA with faster hydration time.
Easy to FormulateApplications
Daily Moisturizers
Perfect for day creams and lotions — provides lightweight hydration without heavy residue.
Hydrating Serums
Delivers deep, non-sticky hydration. Excellent base for water-based and gel-type serums.
Essences & Toners
Light texture ideal for first-step hydration products. Absorbs quickly into skin.
Body Lotions

FAQ
Medium MW HA is the all-purpose grade — ideal for daily creams, serums, lotions, toners, and essences. It provides good film-forming protection while maintaining a lightweight, non-tacky feel. It is the most popular HA grade for consumer skincare products.
Compared to high MW (1,500-2,000 K Da): lighter feel, easier dispersion, less viscosity. Compared to low MW (400-1,000 K Da): better surface film, more thickening. Medium MW sits in the sweet spot — good at everything, excelling at versatility.
0.1-1.0% by weight. Most formulations use 0.3-0.5% for optimal balance of moisturizing and sensory properties.
