Hydrolyzed Zinc Hyaluronate Powder — Cosmetic Grade
The perfect union of hyaluronic acid hydration and zinc bioactivity. Combines HA’s deep moisturizing and film-forming properties with zinc’s antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating, and wound-healing benefits — purpose-built for acne-prone, oily, and sensitive skin formulations. COSMOS, ISO, c-GMP, FDA, HALAL, KOSHER certified.
Request a QuoteProduct Overview
Hydrolyzed Zinc Hyaluronate Powder is an innovative zinc salt of hyaluronic acid — a premium cosmetic ingredient where sodium counterions in the HA polymer are replaced with bioavailable zinc ions. This molecular modification transforms HA from a pure moisturizer into a multi-functional bioactive ingredient that simultaneously hydrates, controls oil, fights acne-causing bacteria, soothes inflammation, and supports skin barrier repair.
Zinc hyaluronate is the ingredient of choice for formulators targeting acne-prone skin, oily skin, combination skin, and sensitive/ irritated skin — conditions where traditional sodium hyaluronate alone provides only partial benefit. The zinc component adds proven antimicrobial activity (P. acnes), 5-alpha reductase inhibition (sebum reduction), anti-inflammatory cytokine modulation, and mild astringent pore-tightening — all while HA delivers deep, non-comedogenic hydration. UPOR Biotech supplies Cosmetic Grade with full COSMOS certification.

Key Benefits — Zinc Hyaluronate vs Sodium Hyaluronate
Dual-Action Hydration + Antimicrobial
Delivers HA moisture binding PLUS zinc’s proven antimicrobial activity against P. acnes and other skin pathogens. Hydrates without feeding acne — unlike heavy emollients.
Anti-Acne HydrationSebum Regulation
Zinc inhibits 5-alpha reductase — the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT in sebaceous glands, a key trigger for sebum overproduction. Clinically validated oil control without over-drying.
Oil ControlAnti-Inflammatory Soothing
Zinc modulates inflammatory cytokines (reduces IL-6, TNF-α) while HA calms and hydrates. Ideal for red, irritated, and post-acne skin requiring both treatment and soothing.
CalmingWound Healing + Barrier Support
Zinc is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis, keratinocyte proliferation, and matrix metalloproteinase regulation. Combined with HA’s tissue hydration, it accelerates skin repair.

FAQ
Zinc hyaluronate is the zinc salt of hyaluronic acid — HA molecules where sodium ions are replaced with bioavailable zinc. It combines HA’s deep hydration with zinc’s antimicrobial, sebum-regulating, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing benefits — making it the ideal multifunctional ingredient for acne-prone, oily, and sensitive skin.
Sodium HA only hydrates. Zinc HA hydrates AND: (1) kills P. acnes bacteria via zinc ions, (2) reduces sebum production through 5-alpha reductase inhibition, (3) soothes acne inflammation, and (4) tightens pores with mild astringency. It’s a complete acne-care ingredient in one molecule — no need for separate zinc additives.
Yes. Zinc is a naturally occurring, essential mineral in skin. At the concentrations delivered by zinc hyaluronate (0.1-0.5% usage rate), it is non-irritating and non-sensitizing. It is often more soothing than many synthetic anti-acne actives (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid) while providing complementary benefits.
Yes. Zinc hyaluronate is highly compatible with niacinamide, salicylic acid, tea tree oil, centella asiatica, and most common cosmetic actives. It should not be combined with strong chelating agents (EDTA at high concentrations) which could strip the zinc. Standard cosmetic EDTA levels (0.05-0.1%) are fine.
