The world of atomically-architectured materials, is one purely inspired by nature. Just as carbon can be diamond or graphite, identically in composition but markedly distinct in appearance, texture and performance, the same applies to other materials.
The colour of diamond crystals is modified by adding traces of impurities. Jewellers use other metals, to alter the colour of regular gold.
However, in the case of nano-gold the scenario is one purely driven by modifications in crystal structure, without alloying.
Atomically-Architectured Nano-Gold is designed entirely with a sustainable nanochemistry process, to achieve 24 karat high-purity nano-gold powders, of defined colour and crystal structure.
Briefly, an atomically-architectured material is one in which its atoms have been re-arranged during its manufacturing process, to create an entirely different crystal structure from its common form.
When it comes to Nano-Gold, the finer its particle size, the higher its performance as well as quality and the lower the required effective dose.
The modification in its size and crystal structure alters the nature of its interaction with light to yield colours such as :
Midnight/Marine Blue
Rose/Dark Pink
Mauve/Whitish Purple
We make this offering to manufacturers, to achieve a distinct class of skincare formulations, that deliver benefits only be conferred with the unique properties of nanotechnology.
Shades Of Aurum 24 karat Nano-Gold powders are offered in a dry, ligand-free form. It can be flexibly dosed in existing and future skincare formulations to act as :
An Antimicrobial, anti-fungal & Antiseptic agent
A therapeutic agent as a carrier for drug delivery via delayed release mechanism, applicable in cosmeceutical applications.
A detox material for the removal of mercury (Hg) and lead (Pd)
A humectant (i.e. hydrating) and anti-inflammatory agent
A component for restorative, and regenerative skin texture i.e. cell regeneration stimulation and skin damage repair for improved skin firmness and elasticity, delayed aging process, collagen production promotion, and skin metabolism vitalisation.
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are increasingly used in cosmetics for their purported anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and radiance-boosting properties. They are incorporated into products like creams, lotions, facial masks, and even lipsticks.
NSOYANI AURUM Au NPs, are in the small size range ( 5 - 20 nm or 0.005 - 0.02 µm). This category of Au NPs are easier to penetrate cell membranes and potentially enter deeper skin layers, which is beneficial for targeted delivery of active ingredients to provide skin care benefits in the following domains:
REGENERATION : As therapeutic agent nano carriers, Au NPs help improve the delivery of active ingredients into the deep levels of the skin to combat the damaging effects of free radicals, which contribute to skin aging.
AESTHETICS: By accelerating cell regeneration and repairing skin damage, this leads to smoother and more even skin, soothes irritated skin. The antiseptic properties of Au NPs can potentiate the alleviation of conditions like acne and sunburn by acting as antioxidants, to neutralise harmful free radicals and protect against oxidative damage.
Oxidative stress can damage the skin's barrier function, leading to dryness and a dull complexion. Au NPs offer hydrating, restorative, and regenerative properties i.e. cell regeneration stimulation and skin damage repair, anti-inflammatory properties, antimicrobial properties, improved skin firmness and elasticity, delayed aging process, collagen production promotion, and skin metabolism vitalisation.
UV PROTECTION : Gold's natural light-reflecting properties vary with Au NP size, to offer variant effects in a luminous glow.
The size and crystal structure of AuNPs influences their surface plasmon resonance (SPR) frequency, which is the frequency at which they absorb and scatter light. NSOYANI AURUM Au NPs, are designed to absorb blue light (380 - 500 nm range). This is important for applications like sunscreens and anti-aging products, where the nanoparticles can interact with UV radiation (100 - 400 nm).
Essentially, Gold nanoparticles help promote healing, cleanse the skin, reduce wrinkles, improve skin brightness, fight bacteria, and preserve collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin elasticity and firmness.
All products are supplied in superfine nanopowder form and sold exclusively on our website.
