Creams with sodium hyaluronate by Repharm

What is the difference between sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid

In the content of some cosmetic products there often can be found sodium hyaluronate instead of hyaluronic acid. This is a salt of hyaluronic acid developed by decontamination of its molecule from fats, proteins and some acids. As a result of it, we get a low-molecular substance which is able to penetrate into the deepest skin layers owing to its small size. Sodium hyaluronate has a wider range of properties, than hyaluronic acid molecules. Besides that, this substance can stimulate the development of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, which keep skin’s youth and fight aging changes. Owing to this, sodium hyaluronates makes cream formula highly efficient and powerful.
