Shungite is a mineral that formed about 2.5 billion years ago. It is the most abundant form of organic matter on Earth. It is found only in one area - Karelia Russian Federation. Shungite is the only substance in nature containing fullerenes. Because of their unique molecular structure, fullerenes are used as antiviral agents. It configures itself in such a way that its structure allows them to both carry needed molecules and trap dangerous substances, and then remove them.

Shungite react easily with free radicals - unstable atoms that damage cells, proteins, and DNA. Fullerene cage-like structure attracts and traps the free radicals and then transforms them into a neutral compound. This ability makes fullerenes the heroes in skin care as age-defying and anti-damage agents. When Shungite is used in skin and body care products, it removes all topical pollution allowing the skin cells to function properly.

Free radical fighting fullerenes found in Shungite have been connected with speeding up the healthy process of cell regeneration. Since Shungite aids in cellular regeneration, it helps to keep the skin looking younger and more radiant.

Shungite, besides being the most potent antioxidant known on Earth today, also is known to eliminate all bacteria, virus and pollution. It helps to clear acne, eczema, psoriasis and calm inflammation.
