Mangalidone® is the manganese salt of L-pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (L-PCA). L-PCA, a physiological compound found naturally in the skin, is obtained by the cyclization of L-glutamic acid, an amino acid of plant origin. It strengthens the skin's natural defenses against free radicals.

Technical Details & Test Data

Mechanism of Action

Mangalidone® constitutes a physiological supply of bioavailable manganese in order to protect the skin against oxidative stress by strengthening the skin's natural anti-radical defenses according to a double effect , preventive and curative :

  • Mangalidone® stimulates, in l absence of aggression, the basal concentration of the skin in MnSOD.
  • Mangalidone®effectively fights free radicals in the event of UV aggression, by increasing the skin's defensive response.

By acting at the mitochondrial level, in the fight against oxidation, Mangalidone® guarantees cellular longevity.
