Information

Glucomannan is a naturally derived polysaccharide known for its exceptional ability to absorb and hold water. In skincare, it is primarily used as a hydrating, film-forming, and texture-enhancing ingredient that helps create a smooth, soft feel on the skin.

Where does it come from?

Glucomannan is most commonly obtained from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), which is native to parts of Asia. The konjac root is naturally rich in glucomannan fiber, which is purified and processed for use in cosmetic and skincare formulations.

What are the benefits?

  • Hydrating: Attracts and holds water, contributing to higher moisture levels in the skin.
  • Moisture-Binding: Forms a lightweight, moisture-binding film that minimizes the feeling of dryness.
  • Smoothing: Leaves the skin feeling softer and smoother, making it especially useful for the delicate eye area.
  • Conditioning: Promotes a supple and comfortable skin feel.
  • Film-Forming: Creates a thin, flexible layer on the skin that can help maintain hydration during use.
  • Texture: Provides the smooth, gel-like consistency and structure that works particularly well in eye patches and masks.

How is it used in our products?

Glucomannan is used in F96 Olive Glow Eye Patches and F97 Deep Glow Hydrogel Face Mask from OLIVEDA. Included to create the smooth, flexible gel texture of the patch while also supporting hydration of the delicate skin around the eyes. Its strong water-binding properties help hold moisture within the patch and maintain close contact with the skin, allowing the formula to provide a soft, conditioned, and refreshed skin feel during use.
