Description

Konjac Mannan gel powder is a pure natural thickener made out of the tuber of Amorphophallus Konjac. It is a linear polysaccharide in a molecular weight range of 1 to 2 million Dalton and as such helps increasing skin hydration. It is based on a combination of Glucose and Mannose and is therefore called Glucomannan. Polysaccharides are well known for their moisturizing properties and also maintain the protective layer of the skin.
