Description

Sodium Hyaluronate Dimethylsilanol is a derivative of hyaluronic acid, where sodium hyaluronate is combined with dimethylsilanol groups. This compound is used in skincare for its enhanced hydrating and skin-conditioning properties.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Sodium Hyaluronate: The sodium salt form of hyaluronic acid, known for its ability to retain moisture and improve skin hydration.
Dimethylsilanol Groups: Silanol groups added to the sodium hyaluronate structure, enhancing stability and performance.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Clear to slightly cloudy liquid or gel.
Odor: Typically odorless.
Texture: Smooth, gel-like texture that provides a silky feel upon application.

Production Process:

Sodium Hyaluronate Dimethylsilanol is produced through:

Chemical Modification: Sodium hyaluronate is chemically modified by incorporating dimethylsilanol groups.
Purification: The modified compound is purified to remove any impurities.
Formulation: Incorporated into cosmetic and skincare products.

Applications:

Cosmetics: Used in various skincare products such as moisturizers, serums, and creams to enhance hydration and improve skin texture.
Skincare: Provides long-lasting moisture and helps maintain skin elasticity and suppleness.
Anti-Aging: Assists in reducing fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin hydration.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Generally regarded as safe for topical application. However, it should be used according to established guidelines to avoid potential allergic reactions or skin irritations. Individuals with sensitive skin or allergies should conduct a patch test prior to use. It is important to ensure that the ingredient is sustainably sourced and free from harmful chemicals.

INCI Functions:


Humectant. Hygroscopic compound used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent it from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers. In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: horny, the most superficial, granular, spinous, shiny, and basal. Humectants have the ability to retain the water they attract from the air in the stratum corneum and have the function of moisturising the skin. They are best used before emollients, which are oil-based.

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
