While this scientific breakthrough was being explored by a variety of industries, no one else was working on how it could impact skin care. It took this group of experienced industry experts, with a high level of expertise in science and chemistry, to get inside this advanced technology and explore how it could be used to solve the problems that plague aging and environmentally damaged skin.

The initial research revealed an important fact: smaller is better, smaller moves faster and smaller goes deeper. This was the breakthrough. In a world where more is a good thing and bigger is better, these scientists and innovators saw the value of going very, very small.

A great deal of research, formulation trials and testing ensued, but the group remained in awe of the possibilities. It was clear that this was the way to move beyond where skin care was stuck. The greatest ingredients in the world do nothing if they are sitting on top of the skin. Nanotechnology, and NanoChem, the proprietary technology developed by Beyond Skin Science, would break the barrier and get the ingredients into the skin where their work would be significant rather than topical.

The company launched with their core product, Eternalis Anti Aging System, which is comprised of four synergistic products. The feedback confirms all of the testing and trials - consumers how have a skin care product that delivers something different, something small, but something that is resulting in big improvements in their skin.

Beyond Skin Care's team of scientists and beauty experts are continuing to develop new, advanced skin care products that target a wide range of specific skin conditions. Eternalis is only the first of these scientific breakthroughs that has brought the future of Nanotechnology to the science of beautiful skin.

Soil Association bans same nanoparticles as found in leading brands

JohnT — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:59:50 +0000

Short description

Leading cosmetics brands, including Boots, Lancome and L’Oreal, are using nanomaterials (in selected products) that the Soil Association (SA) has today announced it has banned

Article body

Leading cosmetics brands, including Boots, Lancome and L’Oreal, are using nanomaterials (in selected products) that the Soil Association (SA) has today announced it has banned in all its certified organic products, due to safety concerns.

From this month, the ban applies particularly to health and beauty products, but also to food and textiles. The SA is the first organisation in the world to take action against nanotechnology.

A 2004 report, commissioned by the Government, recommended; the release of nanoparticles should be ‘avoided as far as possible’, labelling of consumer products, and that research be conducted into the toxicity of nanoparticles and nanotubes.

Despite agreeing with the report’s conclusions, no regulations have been adopted. A voluntary industry labelling scheme is being developed, with which the SA is involved, but under a voluntary scheme, no label doesn’t guarantee no nano.

While the SA recognises there may be benefits from nanotechnology - in the area of medicine for example - some initial studies have shown negative effects. Research has shown that nano-sized titanium dioxide - which makes the sunscreen transparent and therefore more marketable - ‘might be toxic to various types of cell’, can enter the brain and may trigger cell death.

Professor Vyvyan Howard, nanotechnology researcher at University of Ulster, said: ‘The term nanotechnology covers a vast range of applications. Many are not threatening at all, such as nano-structured surfaces for self cleaning glass. But in the areas of health and beauty and food more research must be done. There is considerable evidence that nanoparticles are toxic and potentially hazardous.’

Gundula Azeez, Soil Association policy manager, believes: ‘There should be an immediate freeze on the commercial release of nanomaterials until there is a sound body of scientific research into all the health impacts. As we saw with GM, the government is ignoring the initial indications of risk and giving the benefit of the doubt to commercial interest rather than the protection of human health.’

The race for nano-patents in the technological-beauty market is on, and Nanomaterials are in many products, including:

L'Oreal 'Plenitude Revitalift' anti-wrinkle cream,

Lancome's Renergie Lift,

Almay's Clear Complexion Concealer,

Various Neutrogena cosmetics by Johnson and Johnson,

Olay's All Day Complete Care cream with UV protection,

Revlon's ColourStay range.

Nanotechnology is also widely used in sunscreens, including the popular Boots Soltan range.

There’s more info contained here about which products contain the penetrating technology.

We welcome the SA’s move to ban the particles, particularly in the absence of any other regulation, and would take the SA certified natural products over ‘advanced' skincare products - hazardous or not - any day.
