Gold in Skincare Products.....does it really work?

Cleopatra was famed for sleeping in a gold mask, colloidal red gold was used in Ayurvedic medicine for rejuvenation during old age “Swarna Bhasma” , & gold was used for nervous disorders “nervin” known for its revitalization properties.

Colloidal gold has many studies showing benefits both for medicinal & in skincare masks or topical creams. The following can be achieved when a product has nano gold in its composition.

  • accelerates blood circulation

  • revitalizes the fiber tissues under the skin

  • powerful antioxidant

  • antiseptic & anti-inflammatory

  • reduces fine line & wrinkles

  • improves skin elasticity

  • synergists in absorption of collagen, & essential botanicals

In 2010 a vitro study showed that gold nano particles in an anti wrinkle face mask maximize the active ingredient (hyaluronic acid & collagen or retinol) meaning the gold acts as a delivery agent in conjunction with other ingredients. Gold has some amazing anti-oxidant properties & this mineral to connect with metal ions present in cellular structure.

Cleopatra clearly knew the benefits lol, I hope you enjoyed this information…..
