For adults (grown-ups), sodium hyaluronate is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s a gentle moisturizing ingredient used in many lotions and serums and rarely causes problems.
Use products that list this ingredient in creams, serums, or lotions as directed. If you have sensitive skin, try a small patch on the inside of your wrist or elbow for a day before widespread use. Stop using it and rinse with water if you get redness, swelling, burning, or a rash. Choose products from reputable brands that list full ingredient information.
Although overall risk is low, industry safety reviewers have noted there can be limits on concentration and concerns about impurities in manufacturing (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). A government review also noted uncertain effects on the environment (Environment Canada). Avoid use on raw or badly broken skin and stop use if you have an allergic reaction. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have serious skin conditions, talk with your healthcare provider before starting any new product.
