Hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate
Hyaluronic acid is a water-binding molecule; sodium hyaluronate is its sodium salt.
Why it is used
Used for hydration within serums and moisturisers. Evidence depends on molecular form and the complete product.
Who may find it relevant
May be relevant to a hydration goal; a separate serum is optional.
Formulation compatibility
Often combined with emollient and occlusive ingredients in moisturisers.
Compatibility inside one finished formula is not an instruction to layer or mix separate products.
A common misconception
Topical skincare should not be equated with an injectable filler.
Where this appears in Venvia products

Planned ingredient highlight supplied by Venvia; confirm against final INCI
General evidence for an ingredient is not evidence for a finished product. Venvia products are still in development and no product claims are made here.
