Cognac Mannan creates a transparent gel that gives a very soft and pleasant feeling on the skin. This is an environmentally friendly product because it is obtained through multi-stage filtration from tubers. The tubers of this plant are used in food formulations to make jelly and glass (clear) pasta. In Japan, this species is called Konyaku and is used to prepare a gel that is stable in boiling water. Konjac-mannan has excellent moisturizing properties similar to hyaluronic acid, i.e. forms a matrix on the surface of the skin to additionally retain moisture and improve skin regeneration processes.

Cognac Mannan stimulates the skin's production of collagen, tightens and tones the skin. It has a long-lasting softening and moisturizing effect due to the ability to create a thin film that retains moisture, enriches the skin with valuable fatty acids and lipids and prevents the appearance of cellulite. Improves intercellular exchange in tissues, which promotes faster restoration of muscle tissue and promotes faster epithelization and restoration of skin structure. Perfectly moisturizes dry skin, evening out its texture.

An important feature of Cognac Mannan is the natural stimulation of the formation of collagen and elastin fibers, as a result of which the skin becomes elastic and velvety.
