Nanodiamond and the research
Nanodiamonds are carbon particles with a diamond crystal structure. Researchers study surfaces that bind particular molecules and release them under specific conditions. Their behaviour depends on the material, its surface and the formulation.
Nanodiamond: from scientific potential to our formula
Researchers study nanodiamond surfaces that can bind particular molecules and release them under specific conditions. The result depends on the material, its surface treatment and the complete formulation.
This material research is not testing of finished Carbon Beauty creams and does not prove skin delivery from a particular cosmetic formula.
Our approach with Hielscher
Our work on NANO involved a series of trials to incorporate nanodiamond into a cream formula. We use Hielscher ultrasonic equipment in the dispersion process. Ultrasound assists the separation and distribution of particle groups. This is a technical step, not evidence of skin delivery or clinical efficacy.
Understanding the findings
Research relates to specific materials, surfaces and conditions. It does not automatically establish the effect of a finished cream containing nanodiamond. The sources below are not clinical trials of Carbon Beauty. Ultrasound assists dispersion, but does not by itself prove skin delivery.
2016 - Carboxylated nanodiamond system
The authors evaluate a particular carboxylated system as a carrier for topical drug delivery. The study concerns that system, not a Carbon Beauty product.
Comprehensive evaluation of carboxylated nanodiamond as a topical drug delivery system, 20162007 - Ultrasonic dispersion
Thomas Hielscher describes ultrasonic cavitation as a method for dispersing and deagglomerating materials. This explains the technical principle, but does not demonstrate cosmetic or clinical efficacy.
