What it does
A synthetic manganese-salen complex (trade name EUK-134) that biomimics the antioxidant enzymes SOD and catalase to neutralize reactive oxygen species in skin. As an antioxidant ingredient, it is particularly valued for mimics superoxide dismutase (sod) and catalase enzyme activity, self-regenerating free-radical scavenger, and helps reduce signs of photoaging.
