Mannose
Ingredient Info
Mannose is a naturally occurring simple sugar (monosaccharide) found in skin and body tissues. In skincare, it's used for its potential to support skin's natural repair processes and help protect against UV-induced damage and inflammation.
Benefits
- May help reduce UV-induced skin inflammation
- Could support skin's natural immune and repair functions
- May promote glycoprotein synthesis important for skin structure
Science: Research shows mannose participates in immune regulation and is naturally distributed in skin tissue. Recent studies demonstrate potential in repairing UVB-induced skin inflammation, though most published evidence focuses on systemic health applications rather than topical skincare efficacy.
