New Science of Skin Care

How Nanotechnology Delivers Effective Skin Care Ingredients Where They Are Needed

Cellular Health for Remarkably Younger Skin

Within Skin offers you the latest in anti-aging skin care science: nanosomatic delivery of the most effective skin anti-aging ingredients available today - sadly it looks like it is out of business. However, the methods and ingredients used in the product remain state-of-the-art, so I left this article online.

The science of healthy skin has always begun with skin cells. Cellular health is dependent on cellular metabolism and effective delivery of vital minerals and nutrients.

As the body ages, overall metabolism slows and its transportation systems lose their effectiveness.

For the skin, this means that cell turnover slows and the body produces less of its own vital nutrients. The result is the breakdown of the skin which exhibits itself as a loss of youthful glow, appearance of age spots, lines, wrinkles and skin that does not heal well.

As I've said many times, anti-aging skin care is not just a matter of vanity but also a matter of health. The skin is the body's barrier against disease and infection. Thick healthy skin insulates us from the cold and perspires to release excess heat.

Healthier cells are more resistant to disease, sun damage, and breakouts. Healthier skin not only looks younger, it reacts as younger skin would.

It would be nice if we could just slather the missing nutrients on the surface of the skin and prevent or reverse the ravages of time. But as I said, the skin is a barrier and prevents foreign matter from penetrating.

Fotunately that is all changing. Not only are scientists finding and developing peptides, antioxidants and growth factors to replace or stimulate what the body can no longer produce on its own; but also they have developed delivery systems to get these vital nutrients into the cells where they can do their work.

Scientists at Within Sciences, Inc. theorized that dramatic skin care results could be achieved through the application of nanotechnology, EGF (epidermal growth factor), bio-activated anti-oxidants, nano-biopeptides and other essential active ingredients.

Within Sciences is an FDA registered pharmaceutical company based in Orange County, California. The company's founder studied nanotechnology at Rice University with Nobel Prize winner and nanotechnology pioneer, Dr. Richard Smalley.

Nanotechnology Delivery System

The highest quality ingredients are not enough. Expensive ingredients that remain on the surface of the skin are wasted.

A dermal delivery system that would safely deliver the ingredients deeply and evenly through the layers of the skin and directly into skin cells had to be developed first.

Within Sciences' experience in developing and manufacturing trans-dermal base creams, a drug delivery system that transports medication through the skin into the blood stream, was a starting point for developing a safe and effective "in the skin" delivery system.

The result of their research was "Nanosomatic" technology.

Nanosomatic crèmes and serums penetrate quickly and evenly through all layers of the skin and deliver, nano-sized ingredients in a sustained time release form for easy absorption by the cells.

Since many expensive and important active ingredients are damaged by the varying pH levels in the skin and quickly lose their efficacy, the beauty of Nanosomatic technology is that it protects the active ingredients allowing them to remain intact and fully potent while penetrating the skin.

Nanotechnology Reinvents Skin Care

While there are many ingredients on the market today that are known to be of value in the repair of damaged and aging skin, almost all these ingredients are too large to penetrate skin cells. Thus, their effect is negligible.

One nanometer is 1/100,000 the thickness of a human hair. A red blood cell is about 7500 nanometers.

Within's active ingredients range from 10 to 50 nanometers in size and are easily absorbed through cell membranes to optimize cellular health.

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)

Within Science has also focused on Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and the potential of nano-EGF.

EGF is a protein comprised of 53 amino acids. It is naturally produced by the body and is plentiful in our youth but decreases in production as we age.

Its purpose is to accelerate healthy cell growth, cell division, and cell turnover. EGF also works to neutralize free radicals, which contribute to cellular deterioration which is a source of premature aging.

The subject of Nobel Prize-winning research, discoveries in EGF have become known as some of the greatest breakthroughs in skin healing history.

EGF has been used extensively in the medical field to dramatically speed the healing of damaged skin and to minimize scar tissue formation.

It is a favorite of top plastic surgeons.

It has slowly been introduced to the skin care industry for use after skin care treatments like chemical peels and micro dermabrasion.

Within Sciences and Within Skin

These advanced scientific and medical technologies require extreme skill and specialized equipment that are more commonly found in an FDA registered pharmaceutical lab.

The skin care market is buzzing with excitement over these new technologies, eager to embrace them, determine how to utilize them, and measure the results.

Within Sciences has extensive experience with these technologies and is already delivering them in products that really work.

Within Sciences has committed itself to using advanced proven science to develop and manufacture products that improve health and ultimately lead to a better quality of life for all who use them.

Until quite recently, skin creams and serums using these advanced technologies and ingredients were available only from your dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
