Functions

Humectant

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

Developed in the late 20th century as a modern humectant and skin-conditioning agent derived from mannose (a simple sugar), created to provide moisture-binding properties in contemporary skincare formulations.
