Science & Benefits

Mannitol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) with high moisture-retention capacity and significant antioxidant properties. It specifically neutralizes hydroxyl radicals ($ \cdot OH $) produced during UV exposure and inflammation. It is 100% non-comedogenic. It is a 'bulletproof' humectant for acne patients exposed to environmental stress, as it prevents the oxidative degradation of sebum which is a major trigger for inflammatory acne.
