Sodium Heparin

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss supplies cosmetic-grade Sodium Heparin under a direct factory model, with GMP-aligned quality control, batch documentation, and sample support for professional skincare formulators.

Sodium Heparin (CAS 9041-08-1) is the sodium salt of heparin, a sulfated glycosaminoglycan typically derived from porcine intestinal mucosa. CosIng lists a skin-conditioning function; in topical cosmetics it is used at low levels to support hydration feel and comfort in leave-on systems—not as a pharmaceutical anticoagulant active.

It is commonly specified for soothing serums, gel creams, toners, and comfort-focused leave-on formulas where brands need a documented, water-soluble GAG with clear origin and potency disclosure on COA.

Formulation Guidelines

Use these notes to incorporate Sodium Heparin cleanly into aqueous skincare systems.

• Suggested Use Level: Formulation-dependent; keep levels low and confirm finished-product safety assessment and labeling (animal origin)
• Addition: Dissolve in the water phase with gentle mixing; add during cool-down when heat-sensitive actives are present
• pH Range: Compatible with common cosmetic pH systems; verify clarity and viscosity after salt/active addition
• Compatibility: Screen with cationic polymers, strong electrolytes, and preservatives; confirm long-term clarity and odor
• Handling: Hygroscopic powder—keep sealed; avoid prolonged open-air exposure during weighing
• Combine with Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract for soothing leave-on systems pairing skin-conditioning GAG support with botanical comfort actives.
