Manganese Gluconate

Manganese Gluconate is the manganese salt of gluconic acid and is used in skincare as a skin-conditioning ingredient and antioxidant support agent. Manganese is an essential trace mineral involved in the body's natural antioxidant defence systems, including enzymes that help protect cells from oxidative stress. In cosmetic formulations, Manganese Gluconate is often included in anti-ageing, protective, and skin-revitalising products where it helps support the skin's resilience against environmental stressors. While it is not a primary active ingredient, it can contribute to overall skin health and is frequently combined with other minerals and antioxidants in multifunctional formulations.
