If you’re a skincare enthusiast, you’ve likely heard of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – a buzzword in the skincare world in recent years. HA is a coveted ingredient in high-end anti-aging skincare products that come with a hefty price tag. But what is HA, and how many types of HA are in Hada Labo moisturizers? This article will reveal all.
1 What is HA?
HA has a sugar molecule structure
HA (Hyaluronic Acid) was first discovered in 1934. The name “Hyaluronic” refers to its glass-like transparency.
HA has a sugar molecule structure and a molecular weight ranging from 600,000 to 1,000,000 Dalton units, which is significantly larger than regular sugar molecules (340 Dalton). This unique structure gives HA its superior water-holding capacity, with one gram of HA able to hold up to six liters of water. This remarkable water-binding ability has made HA a popular ingredient in cosmetic products.
Scientists have found that HA can be used as a lubricant for joints, improving the health of muscles, joints, skin, and eyes. It is also commonly found in skincare products, known for its natural moisturizing properties.

2 Types of HA in Hada Labo Moisturizers
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
The key ingredient in Hada Labo products is Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which has an exceptional ability to bind and hold thousands of water molecules, effectively moisturizing the skin.
As mentioned, HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it easily absorbed and creating a remarkable moisturizing effect that forms a protective moisture barrier on the skin.
All skincare products in the Hada Labo range contain HA.
Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA)
Building on the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Hada Labo has developed Super Hyaluronic Acid, or SHA.
SHA has the ability to hold twice as much water as HA and can retain moisture for longer, penetrating deeper into the skin’s cells and protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
SHA infuses the skin with moisture, enhancing its suppleness, radiance, and firmness while maintaining a soft and smooth texture.
Hada Labo products containing SHA include:
- Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion
- Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion
- Hada Labo Advanced Nourish Supreme Hyaluron Cream
Nano Hyaluronic Acid (Nano HA)
Through extensive research, Hada Labo’s experts have developed HA in a new form: Nano HA. With a molecular weight just 1/100th of regular HA, Nano HA can still hold up to six liters of water (6,000 times its weight).
Its tiny size allows Nano HA to penetrate deep into the skin’s layers, providing maximum moisture to create soft, smooth skin and preventing dehydration.
Hada Labo products containing Nano HA include:
- Hada Labo Advanced Nourish Supreme Hyaluron Cream
- Hada Labo Advanced Nourish Hyaluron Cream
- Perfect White Arbutin Cream
Binding Hyaluronic Acid (Binding HA)
Binding HA consists of adhesive HA molecules that enhance skin elasticity and prolong moisture retention.
Hada Labo products containing Binding HA include:
- Hada Labo Advanced Nourish Supreme Hyaluron Lotion
- Hada Labo Advanced Nourish Supreme Hyaluron Cream
3D HA
3D HA is a three-dimensional network of HA that protects the skin, encapsulating water molecules and supporting the skin’s layers, resulting in long-lasting hydration. This 3D network reduces water loss and enhances the moisturizing ability of other HA types by up to five times.
Additionally, when skin cells are infused with 3D HA, they become more voluminous, improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of aging and sagging skin.
Hada Labo products containing 3D HA include:
- Hada Labo Advanced Nourish Supreme Hyaluron Cream
- Hada Labo Gokujyun 3D Perfect Gel
For optimal results, use Hada Labo products consistently and follow the application instructions. We hope this article has helped you understand the different types of HA in Hada Labo products and choose the right skincare regimen for your needs.
