Science & Benefits

Mannose is a C-2 epimer of glucose that serves as a vital carbohydrate in the skin's glycosylation processes. Beyond its role as a humectant, Mannose has been shown to organize the structure of the extracellular matrix, helping to maintain skin density and resilience. It is entirely non-comedogenic and serves as a 'smart' sugar that facilitates better water distribution between skin cells. It is a logical addition to acne-safe formulas that require weightless hydration without the stickiness often associated with high-molecular-weight polysaccharides.
