Rhamnose is a plant-based sugar, which is relatively rare in nature. It can be found in sea buckthorn, birch trees and certain micro-algae.
It has hydrating, anti-inflammatory, soothing and skin rejuvenating properties. Studies have shown that that cell cultures treated with rhamnose produced fewer aging byproducts.
Rhamnose causes a series of reactions at all levels of the skin, improving the appearance of wrinkles and boosting the skin’s firmness. Compared to vitamin C, rhamnose has a broader effect and works on more of the skin’s molecules.
We source our rhamnose directly from our lab-neighbour Juho and his amazing company that specialises in natural specialty carbohydrates.
You'll find rhamnose in our Calming Serum and 2-in-1 Hydrating Face Mask & Cream.
