Mannan

Mannan is a type of polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate derived from plants. In skincare, it primarily functions as a humectant and film-former. It helps to attract and hold moisture on the skin's surface, contributing to hydration and a smoother feel.

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

Texture i1 / 4

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
