BioFullerene^TM is a high-purity Fullerene that conforms to the Japanese Standards for Pharmaceutical Ingredients. Fullerenes come in various types for a range of applications. Generally, Fullerenes used for industrial purposes contain high levels of impurities, and thus were considered unsuitable for applications in the life-science fields.
The powerful ability of Fullerenes to eliminate radicals (reactive molecular species, including active oxygen) has received widespread attention in fields of research and development. Aggressive studies are underway worldwide to find new pharmaceutical applications for Fullerenes, including their use in suppressing and fighting cerebral disease and cancer. Accordingly, our company is pioneering efforts to find applications for Fullerenes in pharmaceutical products, for example through strict safety testing (according to GLP standards). BioFullerene^TM, a high-purity Fullerene, has been demonstrated to meet these exacting testing standards.

Radical Sponge^® is a sophisticated ingredient specially processed from BioFullerene^TM to facilitate blending into any cosmetic product. While BioFullerene^TM is simply Fullerene in powder form, Radical Sponge^® is an advanced ingredient designed for superior adaptability to, and stabilization of, cosmetic formulations. Thus, Fullerene has been rendered easier to use in cosmetic applications without sacrificing any of the safety or functional properties of BioFullerene^TM.
