PhD letter on Gemology's Formulations & Benefits

Minerals are vital for the skin health and youth. They contain trace elements that are catalyzing our cells main vital processes. Thanks to their physical attributes, minerals are a resource of light and heat for our skin.

From now on, they must be at the core of cosmetic products composition and so take part into their alchemy, as vegetable actives do. However, the use of mineral substances requires technologically-advanced techniques.

Gemology and different research laboratories have developed two ways of using the Gems (precious and semiprecious minerals) that have cosmetic attributes.
A first scientific process combines a grinding step with different reactions known as « complexation » ones. Each gem is liquefied and then stabilized to the cutaneous pH in order to present a perfect tolerance and a maximum biological activity. For example, the Malachite which is a copper-filled sacred stone from Ancient Egypt will release anti-free radical attributes. On the other hand, the pearled or silky smithsonite is zinc-full and will protect the skin cells from stress and attacks.
A second technique changes Tourmaline, Sapphire, Diamond and other gems in microscopic particles that will be then integrated into creams, gels or serums. The precious and semiprecious particles have piezoelectric attributes : they are polarized under a stress and reflect the energy in the infrared. The cutaneous micro-stream is enhanced and the skin regains luminance and radiance.
Harmonious blend of luxury and efficiency, the micronized gems or their extracts are becoming from now on the cosmetic actives of which your skin will be the jewel case.
