Metrology at the Service of Cosmetics: a New Method to Evaluate the Antioxidant Efficacy by Wainvam

WAINVAM-E develops products and services based on the quantum and optical properties of the NV (Nitrogen Vacancy) centers of diamonds.

These diamonds have a very sensitive detection of magnetic species, such as free radicals. Antioxidants help neutralizing free radicals that damage cells and limit cosmetic products stability.

The results provided are directly related to the free radicals concentration, which is indicative of the antioxidant efficacy.

The measurement is quantitative, reliable and is performed in few minutes. The main advantage of this method is its photostability, perfect for kinetic measurements.
