Description
LUMERIUM C60 (SOL5060YN) – USP Certified Fullerene Active for Cosmetics R&D
LUMERIUM C60 (CAS: 99685-96-8) is a premium, 99.95% solvent-free, USP Certified Fullerene C60 ingredient engineered specifically for high-performance cosmetic and dermatological formulations. Known as an extraordinary “radical sponge,” LUMERIUM C60 neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) far more effectively than vitamins C and E, offering clinically validated wrinkle reduction, collagen protection, anti-pollution defense, and skin-brightening properties.
Key Benefits for Cosmetic & Dermatological Actives
- Potent Antioxidant Capacity: Superior radical scavenging capacity that shields cutaneous tissue from UV radiation and urban pollution-induced oxidative stress.
- Clinically Validated Wrinkle Reduction: Demonstrated anti-aging effects that smooth fine lines and improve skin texture in topical oil formulations.
- Collagen & Elasticity Preservation: Inhibits enzymatic breakdown of the dermal matrix, preserving structural collagen molecules and biophysical firmness.
- Skin Brightening & Melanin Suppression: Reduces UVA-induced melanogenesis, contributing to an even, luminous skin tone.
- Formulation Stability & Synergy: Exceptionally stable in liposoluble formulations; synergistic with squalane, cosmetic oils, and vitamin complexes.
Grade 99.95% (SOL5060YN) – Solvent-Free & USP Certified
Cosmetic R&D demands pristine safety standards. Our eZeSol™ SOL5060YN grade undergoes dynamic thermal extraction under dynamic inert medical nitrogen to remove all volatile solvents while suppressing oxidation:
- USP Certified Quality: Meets strict pharmaceutical and cosmetic monograph standards for safety and purity.
- Rapid Olive Oil / Squalane Dissolution: Dissolves/disperses in cosmetic oils in 3–5 days (0.8–1.0 g/L), compared to 2+ weeks for standard C60 powders.
- Toluene & o-DCB Kinetics: Dissolves in seconds to minutes for lab processing (up to 3 g/L in Toluene, 24 g/L in o-DCB).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – LUMERIUM C60
What is LUMERIUM C60 and why is it used in cosmetics?
LUMERIUM C60 is an ultra-high purity Fullerene C60 ingredient engineered specifically for dermatological and cosmetic R&D. Acting as a “radical sponge,” its antioxidant activity significantly outperforms vitamins C and E, protecting skin from UV/pollution-induced oxidative stress, reducing wrinkles, preserving collagen, and brightening skin tone.
Why is USP Certified solvent-free Fullerene C60 critical for cosmetic formulations?
Cosmetic and topical skin formulations require zero toxic volatile solvent residues. LUMERIUM C60 (Grade 99.95% SOL5060YN) is certified USP and processed via Solaris Chem’s proprietary eZeSol™ method under dynamic inert medical nitrogen, guaranteeing dynamic solubility in cosmetic oils and absolute skin safety.
How soluble is LUMERIUM C60 in cosmetic oils like squalane or olive oil?
Thanks to the eZeSol™ process, LUMERIUM C60 dissolves in olive oil or squalane within 3–5 days (reaching 0.8–1.0 g/L), compared to more than 2 weeks required for standard C60 powders.
