Ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol manganese chloride, in skincare and cosmetic formulas is used as a skin-soothing agent that scavenges superoxide free radical, eliminates hydrogen peroxide, and transforms ROS into water & oxygen. In in vitro studies, it was proven to help reduce erythma and limit UV damage to skin. It’s used in concentrations of .01%-0.5% in cosmetic formulas.

According to the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, EUK-134 not only prevents damage done by exposure to the sun’s harmful UVB rays, but can also increase cell survival after the exposure occurs. It is therefore a complete antioxidant system that mimics nature and is safe and beneficial in cosmetics and, more importantly, sunscreens.
