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.
