A Climate Responsive Active
The market is saturated with moisturizers that stop working at the first sign of intense heat or cold. MANJAR is the evolution: a Climate-Response Active that trains your skin to thrive. By shifting from passive surface hydration to permanent biological resilience, it ensures your skin remains constant in an inconstant world.
INCI NAME
Aqua/Water, Prunus domestica Fruit Extract, Cocos nucifera Fruit Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate.
The Problem
The “Thermal Shock” Era
The world is witnessing record-breaking temperatures and drastic shifts in humidity. The UN describes this era as “Climate Collapse,” in which the skin is no longer just “dry” but is constantly subjected to environmental fatigue. This stress creates a “Thermal Shock” that destabilizes the skin through three primary failures: Environmental Fatigue, Barrier Vulnerability and Structural Collapse.
The Solution
MANJAR
MANJAR is a bio-adaptive active ingredient designed to rebuild the skin’s structural architecture.
It is a fusion of Green Coconut Jelly (Endocarp), rich in polysaccharides and essential amino acids, and Hydrolyzed Plum Pulp, densely packed with uronic acids, polyphenols, and fruit acids.
Mechanism of Action
Biological Architecture
The performance of MANJAR is powered by a biotechnological synergy between the nutrient-rich phyto-complexes of coconut jelly and plum.
MANJAR acts as a Biological Architect, targeting the two essential pillars of the skin barrier:
Endogenous Rehydration (Filaggrin/NMF)
It “recharges” the skin’s internal water reservoirs by boosting the precursor of Natural Moisturizing Factors.
Dynamic Irrigation (Aquaporin-3)
It optimizes water transport channels, ensuring a steady flow of hydration even during heat peaks.
While traditional sugar-based humectants serve only as maintenance moisturizers under normal conditions, Manjar is engineered for extreme environments, acting as an “Active Shield” with the intelligent capacity to trigger hydration precisely when environmental stress attempts to deplete it.
Proven Performance & Market Advantage In Vitro Tests
Hydration and skin barrier markers in Human Epidermal Keratinocytes
Molecular Gene Expression (RT-qPCR)
MANJAR was tested in human keratinocytes over 48 hours, confirming a significant increase in the expression of Aquaporin-3 and Filaggrin.
Aquaporin-3 Expression
MANJAR increases Aquaporin-3 expression by 26.8%, enhancing the skin’s internal water transport system and promoting deep cellular hydration.
Filaggrin Expression
MANJAR increases Filaggrin expression by 52.2%, which strengthens epidermal cohesion and the production of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF).
Preclinical Evaluation Under Extreme Environmental Stress
Performance Validated Under Extreme Stress (40°C)
To evaluate the efficacy of SERUM SKIN MANJAR (3%) against environmental fatigue and chronic dehydration, human skin explants were exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations (42 ºC to 0 ºC) at low humidity (30 +/- 5 ºC) to simulate extreme stress. The samples were separated into three groups: a control group, a group treated with a serum containing 3% MANJAR, and a group treated with a serum without active ingredient (Placebo).
Quantification
Post-stress analysis utilized immunofluorescence labeling to quantify the expression of Filaggrin and Aquaporin-3.
Filaggrin Quantification
Treatment with Serum MANJAR 3% resulted in a 144.8% increase in Filaggrin compared with the Control group exposed to the environmental stress, and a 61.3 % increase compared to the Placebo.
Aquaporin-3 Quantification
The environmental stress triggered a significant 65.8% increase in Aquaporin-3 expression, identifying a natural adaptive response. Treatment with Serum MANJAR 3% maintained these elevated levels, supporting the skin’s mechanism to optimize water transport under stress.
MANJAR is a sustainable active that aligns with CLEAN BEAUTY and ESG global standards.
Technology & Circularity
The Upcycling Revolution
MANJAR primary raw material — the nutrient-dense green coconut gelatinous pulp — is recovered through an advanced upcycling process from the coconut water industry. What was once discarded as industrial waste is transformed into a high-performance, bioactive material, significantly reducing environmental impact.
We transform potential waste into an intelligent, sustainable, scientifically advanced bio- adaptive shield for the skin exposome.
Unlike many indutry-standard humectants obtained through a chemical processing and synthetic solvents, MANJAR is produced using ASSESSA’s exclusive bio-extraction process, which ensures optimal extraction conditions that preserve the full integrity of phytonutrients as found in nature and guarantees a 99,55% Natural Origin Index.
