Ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol Manganese Chloride

Description:An active ingredient in sunscreen products;Also known as EUK-134
Functions: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 (source).
UVB-generated oxidative stress contributes to photoaging and photocarcinogenesis, and increased oxidative stress may lead to increased DNA damage, subsequent mutation, and in the long run, cancer. By replenishing the cell’s antioxidant defense, EUK-134 may be very efficient in the fight against both the short and the long-term photoaging and photocarcinogenesis from UVB radiation on the skin.
