What is the effect of fullerene C60 on the skin? Because fullerenes can bind free radicals and have strong antioxidant capacity, they can activate skin cells and prevent skin decay.
The following is the application of fullerene in cosmetics:
1. Brighten skin tone: Fullerene (C60) can absorb and remove active oxygen in large quantities, preventing active oxygen from increasing tyrosinase activity and producing melanin.
2. Revitalize and replenish water: Improve dryness, water shortage and roughness. Fullerene not only has the effect of anti-aging and repairing the skin, but its moisturizing effect is also very good. It replenishes moisture and nutrition while repairing the skin, and the skin moisture content is greatly improved.
3. Improve fine lines: Effectively tighten pores, refine skin, nourish deep into the bottom of the muscle, firm skin, and improve dry lines and fine lines.
