Nanodiamond and the research
Nanodiamonds are carbon particles with a diamond crystal structure. Researchers study their interactions with skin and their potential use in delivery systems. Particle size, surface characteristics and the surrounding medium influence their behaviour.
Skin interaction study, 2019Nanodiamond: from scientific potential to our formula
Nanodiamond can act as a carrier by binding active molecules to its surface. In researched systems, this improves the passage of selected substances across the skin barrier. The aim is to deliver a molecule beyond the surface using a suitably engineered system.
Laboratory systems also show antioxidant potential and protection of bound molecules from light-induced degradation. Results depend on the particles and formulation.
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 helps break up groups of particles and distribute them more evenly. Attention to this process forms part of the technical work behind the collection.
Understanding the findings
Laboratory findings relate to the specific material and conditions studied. They do not automatically establish the effects of every cream containing nanodiamond. The selected studies below concern the ingredient; they are not clinical trials of Carbon Beauty products.
2023 · Reconstructed human epidermis
At 25 μg/mL over 18 hours, the authors found no irritant potential in the model used. This finding concerns the tested suspension and conditions, not a complete assessment of a finished cream.

Researchers tracked nanodiamonds in different skin layers using an optical method. The work studies permeation and detection, not a cosmetic outcome from Carbon Beauty.
