Product Overview

Sodium Hyaluronate Extra Low Molecular Weight (100-400 K Da) bridges the gap between traditional low MW HA and ultra-low oligomeric HA. At this molecular weight, HA molecules are small enough to penetrate through the entire epidermis, reaching the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) — the structural interface where skin aging first manifests. At the DEJ, extra low MW HA supports collagen and elastin anchoring, stimulates CD44 receptor activity, and provides visible skin firming and restructuring benefits that go beyond hydration alone.

This grade is ideal for advanced firming serums, lifting treatments, and skin renewal formulations. In food applications, its high bioavailability makes it excellent for beauty-from-within nutraceuticals. UPOR Biotech supplies with full regulatory documentation (COA, MSDS, stability data).

Key Benefits

DEJ-Targeted Delivery

Penetrates through the full epidermis to reach the dermal-epidermal junction — the critical interface for skin structural support, collagen anchoring, and visible firming effects.

DEJ Penetration

CD44 Receptor Activation

At this MW range, HA fragments are bioactive — they bind to CD44 receptors on fibroblasts, stimulating HA synthesis and ECM (extracellular matrix) component production for lasting skin restructuring.

Bioactive

Visible Firming & Lifting

Provides measurable skin firming, improved elasticity, and visible lifting effects. Ideal for age-defying serums and professional-grade firming treatments.

Clinically Visible

Excellent Bioavailability

Superior absorption in oral applications. Fast-dissolving and easily incorporated into capsules, tablets, and powdered drink mixes for beauty-from-within supplements.

Oral Grade

FAQ

Extra low MW HA (100-400 K Da) penetrates to the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) — deeper than low MW HA (400-1,000 K Da) which stays in the epidermis. At the DEJ, it supports structural proteins (collagen, elastin) and activates CD44 receptors on fibroblasts for active skin restructuring, not just passive hydration.

Yes — at 100-400 K Da, it has excellent oral bioavailability and is widely used in beauty-from-within capsules, tablets, and drink mixes. Many beauty supplement brands prefer extra low MW HA for its balance of absorbability and bioactivity.

0.1-0.5% in cosmetic formulations. Because extra low MW HA has very low viscosity, it disperses instantly and can be cold-processed. For firming serums, 0.2-0.3% is the sweet spot.
