Fullerene, consisting the same atoms as diamond that are arranged in a hollow sphere shape, is an ingredient that has received Nobel prize.
Fullerene has been widely studied for its antioxidant potential and has proved to be highly effective at neutralizing the free radicals on the skin which are caused by the damage of sunlight, air pollution, and life stress etc.
Fullerene has outstanding antioxidant capacity which is 172 times higher than vitamin C.
Free radicals are a byproduct of metabolism and a reason of aging skin. Staying up late, smoking, drinking and negative emotion like stress will increase free radical production.
The tiny molecule of fullerene can be absorbed by skin easily and its nano size makes fullerene a vehicle that can help to drive other ingredients deeper into skin.
