Fullerenol C60

Fullerenol C60 and their applications in cosmetics field

Oxidation of the skin is an important factor in skin aging. Ultraviolet sunlight, dust and pollution, accelerate this aging.

The cosmetic industry is a fast-growing industry with the continuous development of new active ingredients for skincare products.

There are three important types of Fullerenes: C60, C70, and Fullerenols. All they have been subject to intensive research in the last few years and they display a wide range of different biological activities.

Fullerene is a super anti-oxidant.

• 172 Times as effective as Vitamin C.
• Stable against light and/or heat.
• Power is long-lasting (more than 24 hours).

Synthesized via a Solvent-Free Method. [1]

Green chemistry.

Environmentally friendly synthesis using renewable energy. [2]

[1] Solvents and volatiles are removed by subjecting the C60 to a controlled heat-cool process under dynamic inert medical nitrogen in order to suppress oxidation and preserve its pristine nature.
