    Writer: PhillipaPhillipa

    Buckminsterfullerene a chemical compound is a type of fullerene with the formula C60.

    It has a cage-like fussed ring structure made of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons and resembles a football.

    Each of its 60 carbon atoms is bonded to 3 of it's neighbours.

    Many studies have shown that C60 strongly absorbs free radicals, inhibits the toxicity of chemical toxicants, resists radiation, prevents ultraviolet damage and prevents heavy metal-induced cell damage.

    It is a liposoluble substance and can be dissolved in olive oil and is a very strong antioxidant and has a therapeutic effect on inflammatory skin diseases, cancers and intestinal diseases. In one particular study it was discovered that cosmetic grade C60 could quickly relieve skin itching and pain in muscles, tendons and joints when applied with massage.

    High quality 99.99% sublimed C60 made with no solvents in certified organic extra virgin olive oil from a NZ artisan olive grove.
