About Platinum Colloid
FAQ
- 01:Is it the precious metal platinum?
- The platinum colloid in vuvu is made from the well-known platinum, which is familiar as the finest material for jewelry, and it uses platinum that is almost 100% pure. Platinum, known as the queen of metals, is valued not only for its beauty but also for its excellent properties as a mineral that is chemically resistant and does not rust.
- 02:What is a colloid?
- A colloid refers to a state where extremely fine particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas. Common examples include milk, coffee, clouds, and smoke. The platinum colloid in vuvu consists of fine octahedral platinum particles dispersed in water.
- 03:How large are the platinum particles?
- The platinum particles in the platinum colloid are approximately 2-3 nanometers in size individually. Additionally, within the colloid, these particles form clusters and float at sizes of approximately 10-100 nanometers.
- 04:Why is the platinum colloid black?
- When platinum becomes fine particles in an octahedral shape, it appears shiny gray to black. Moreover, as the concentration of platinum increases, it appears even darker.
- 05:Can it be used for metal allergies?
- For those who have experienced metal allergies or have sensitive skin, we recommend conducting a patch test. Apply to the inner arm and observe the skin for any changes for 1-2 days after application. Also, please read the product instructions carefully before use.
Platinum and gold, precious metals commonly used in jewelry, do not ionize in normal use, so allergic reactions are rare. Additionally, platinum colloid is a pure metal, and because water molecules are adsorbed around platinum particles, it can be used with confidence.
- 06:Does platinum penetrate the skin?
Is it safe for health?
- When applied to the skin, platinum particles remain on the stratum corneum and do not penetrate human skin, as demonstrated by experiments conducted by Tokai University. Platinum colloid is also used in beverages, and it has cleared safety and toxicity tests, so there are no health concerns.
- 07:Can children, elderly people, those with sensitive skin, and pregnant women use it?
- It is safe for the elderly and children to use. Safety tests have confirmed that there is no toxicity or irritation, and it is not absorbed through the skin. It can also be used by those with sensitive skin or pregnant women, but please read the product instructions carefully before use. If you are concerned, please consult with a specialist physician in advance.
- 08:What is the power of the electrical potential of platinum?
- The platinum colloid in vuvu was found to have an electrical potential of minus 40 millivolts by measurements conducted by a specialized institution in 2001. Minus 40 millivolts is an electrical potential close to that of normal cells. Most skin problems arise from the barrier function not functioning properly, but vuvu balances the electrical potential of the skin, leading to healthy and beautiful skin. Additionally, platinum colloid has the function of continuously sending electrons, so it can reduce oxidants. Its function as an "electrical potential cosmetic," rather than a typical nutrient-based cosmetic, is a feature of vuvu.
- 09:Does it have UV care effects?
- Platinum does not have a UV-blocking effect, but it does have UV care effects. One is to continuously reduce oxidants generated in the skin by ultraviolet rays, and the other is to improve skin problems by balancing moisture levels. When exposed to strong sunlight, we recommend using products with UV protection, but these products may generate reactive oxygen species during the process of decomposing ultraviolet rays. By applying platinum as a base, you can protect your skin from UV damage.
- 10:Can cleansing oils, soaps, and other cleansing items retain the platinum on the skin and provide skin-beautifying effects? It seems like the platinum colloid would be washed away...
- Platinum colloid is washed away by cleansing. Vuvu's cleansing products increase cleansing power by incorporating platinum and aim to protect the skin from the irritation of cleansers. The pleasant feeling after use is considered to be obtained by incorporating platinum.
- 11:Will the effects of platinum be maintained even when using products from other manufacturers (such as lotions and creams)?
- There is no problem with concurrent use.
- 12:How long does the platinum colloid remain on the skin?
Does it wash away after washing the face?
- It flakes off along with the stratum corneum. It is believed that it mostly washes away with water during face washing, so we recommend using it after washing your face.
- 13:Does the platinum colloid evaporate? After using lotions or essences, is it okay not to cover it with creams, etc.?
- Platinum particles hold a lot of water, so the water of the platinum colloid does not evaporate. However, in abnormally dry air environments or when the skin's barrier function is weakened, skin moisture may be easily lost, so please use oils or other products as needed.
- 14:How long does it last after opening?
- After opening, it depends on the storage conditions, but we recommend using it as soon as possible.
- 15:Are there any precautions for storage?
- Avoid extreme high humidity or low-temperature places, as well as direct sunlight. Store at normal room temperature as much as possible. Also, store out of reach of infants and young children.
- 16:What should I do if it gets into my eyes or mouth while using it around the eyes or mouth?
- We use ingredients with high safety, so there is no particular danger, but please rinse with water immediately. If you experience any abnormalities, please consult a specialist physician.
- 17:What should I do if the cosmetics
do not suit my skin?
- While we ensure the safety of our cosmetics, if you experience redness, swelling, itching, irritation, etc., please rinse with water immediately. Depending on the symptoms, please consult a specialist physician.
