Fullerenes Hit the Market

Zelensc60.jpg
It is common knowledge that L’Oreal is one of the biggest nano related patent holders, and various nanomaterials have been used in the cosmetics industry for a long time, whether intentionally or not. The UK’s Sunday Times Beauty and Style section recommends a fullerene based antioxidant, perhaps providing an outlet for a small fraction of the 40 tons a year that Frontier Carbon Corporation were planning to produce.

Zelens day and night creams contain Fullerene C60, a powerful free-radical-fighter, as well as a cocktail of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. Day cream, £135, and night cream, £150, from Selfridges; 0870 837 7377

  2. In response to Dr. Enwrights comment, how does he know this fullerene compound causes alzeimhers? Is this supposition or is there evidence? I am interested from a scientific perspective and also because I was planning to buy some of this stuff tommorrow!
