Chemicals

In skin care and food, we always heard the sale and marketing people said their products do not contain chemical.

Hmmm....we can't blame them since most marketing people is not chemist. In high school, we learn water is chemical, which is known as H2O (2 hydrogen, one oxygen), common table salt is chemical, chemist call it sodium chloride. Sugar is too chemical, which consists 2 glucose units, popular in chemistry known as disaccharide. In fact, every things you see and touch is chemically make up.


And our stomach acid is a very strong acid call hydrochloride acid, which break up most of our food that we ate.

Products derived from nature therefore safe?

We hope nature gives simple answer. Until now, the most potent addictive substance, opium - naturally derived from poppy's sap. One of the toxic ingredient use for leukemia, naturally extracted from a beautiful plant commonly called periwinkle.

Periwinkle - can be easily seen in most local household garden

Poppy

Synthetic chemicals therefore cause allergy?

Some people eat seafood will cause skin rashes, some people eat one or two nuts respond fatal reaction, some people cannot take glutenous products, all these are natural foods, yet it cause allergic reaction.

How many people's skin will react to plastic, which is one of the most abundant item that we human made. We found plastic product everywhere, from clothing, kitchen ware, shopping bags, etc.

Natural or not, until now, in medical field still do not know why certain people sensitive to certain product. We blame it on our gene.

So now, how to test a product if you are allergic to it?

Apply small amount to the spot which your skin usually most sensitive to, wait and see if you develop redness, rashes and/or itchiness.

Nano technology

What is Nano Technology?

It is modern technology involving broad spectrum of materials to a nano size (1 nano meter = 1×10⁻⁹ m or 1×10⁻³ mm ) for each application purposes.

Nanotechnology increase the effectiveness of certain materials. For example, in order for a material to stick on your skin, if we use a piece of paper, the paper will drop off, if same material, now the paper become dust particle, the "paper" will stick on your skin's pore.

Of course you will hear some good and scary bad news about nano products. For example nano silver, it is very effective to kill germs compare to the silver wares that you are using like jewelery or kitchen ware.

Unfortunately, because silver is a heavy metal after all, we still do not know once it goes into our body, what this heavy metal - silver will cause in our system.

Before the discovery and synthesis of antibiotic, colloidal silver was used as bactericidal. Though silver poisoning is rare, the symptom show blueish color on your skin and nail.

The purpose in CellCare to develop NanoSil, which of cause is NOT nano silver but nano silicon (DO NOT get confused with the silicone), is that silicon will deplete when we age, as mentioned in previous post, and for the convenient of our dear consumers, CellCare incorporate NanoSil in skin care and body care.

You might heard of silicone poisoning due to poor structure of breast silicone implant, but not silicon poisoning (read carefully with word, one with e and one without e). The word silicone mean those complex polymers that you find in glue, hair conditioner, kitchen utensils, surface coating, etc.

As mentioned before, silicon is the second most abundant element after oxygen, making up almost 26% of our Earth's crust by mass, usually in the form of silica - silicon dioxide, which is quite inert. You can find silicon dioxide in your vitamin tablet bottle as desiccator. Silicon can be found in many animals and plants. So if silicon is poisonous, then all the animals and plants should not exist by now. Silicon in your joint provides cushioning effect, to minimize impact and reduce friction; and in your skin, it gives you elasticity smoothness.
