About

Manganese Glycinate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Manganese glycinate provides bioavailable manganese chelated by glycine for improved dermal absorption compared to inorganic manganese salts. Manganese is an essential trace element involved in superoxide dismutase activity. However, H373 (effects on organs via prolonged exposure) and H411 (toxic to aquatic life) hazard statements indicate systemic and environmental concerns. Not specifically restricted in EU cosmetic regulations.
