Actique™ Hyal Mini is a fermentation-derived low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate powder. As HA is mostly used in anti-aging skin care formulations, low molecular weight HA has been shown to increase the moisture level of damaged skin and accelerate damage repair. Actique™ Hyal Mini is an oligosaccharide of HA with excellent skin absorption, hydration and anti-wrinkle benefits. With a MW <10,000 Da., Actique™ Hyal Mini penetrates into the stratum corneum, keeping water inside to sustain the hydration effect for 3 days or longer after application. Actique™ Hyal Mini is also known to provide a “double hydration” effect from the outside in when used with high MW sodium hyaluronate powder.

Actique™ Hyal 1M is a fermentation-derived mid-range molecular weight sodium hyaluronate powder. Actique™ Hyal 1M is high-water binding, but with less occlusive properties than high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate powder. Therefore, Actique™ Hyal 1M can provide deep hydration and works well as a skin-conditioning agent with natural viscosity increasing properties.

Actique™ Hyal Max is a fermentation-derived high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate powder. When added into solution, Actique™ Hyal Max will form a hydrated viscoelastic film on the surface of the skin, keeping it moisturized to prevent collagen from cracking and drying out. Actique™ Hyal Max can also be used as a natural viscosity increasing agent with skin conditioning benefits.
