Why Sunflower Oil?

Greska's Carbon-60 uses a cold-pressed (no hexane or other solvent), highly filtered, non-GMO, organic sunflower oil.

We researched and tested several of the healthiest and most practical vegetable and seed oils to blend with our nano-spheres of Carbon 60.

We looked at oils such as Olive oils, grapeseed oils, sunflower oils, safflower oils, coconut oils, avocado oils, and several other oils that fell off the list rather quickly.

Reported Benefits of Sunflower Oil

Sunflower is high in vitamin E, which helps reduce UV damage in your skin.
Vitamin E helps reduce acne
Vitamin E helps hydrate the skin and repair the skin barrier
Sunflower oil is also rich in Omega-6 and linoleic acid and is commonly used to keep skin moisturized
Sunflower oil is commonly recommended for as a good choice for high cholesterol and preventing heart disease.
Sunflower oil is also used as a source of unsaturated fat in the diet to replace saturated fats.

For instance, we blended and tested ten different olive oils and found two brands out of the ten to be somewhat acceptable, but they fell short due to their susceptibility to going rancid very quickly and have a short shelf life.

Carbon-60 in Coconut oils and MCT oils do not hold the Carbon 60 in suspension, and the carbon 60 falls to the bottom rather quickly. Avocado oils have many particulates and have a very short shelf life. The avocado oils and olive oils have components in them that also lower the effectiveness of the Carbon 60 molecules.

Our extensive testing found Organic, cold-pressed, non-GMO, highly filtered USA-made sunflower oil to be far superior as a carrier for our nano-sized Carbon 60. To this day, we occasionally consider and test other oils, but still, find sunflower oil to be far superior.

Our sunflower oil has little or no taste. It can easily withstand the heat of an Arizona mailbox or the freezing temperatures of Alaska with no degradation or harm to the oil or damage to the glass vial.

Proof in point! We never, in our history, lost a bottle due to the sunflower oil going rancid or for that matter any other reason. (Except the occasional shipping breakage… which we readily replace free of charge).

Sunflower oil is highly absorbent and does not block pores on the skin, which can cause blackheads. It is non-irritating for most people and can be used on all skin types, including dry, normal, oily, and acne-prone.

Benefits of Greska's Carbon-60

Health experts agree that excessive free radicals, oxidative stress, and toxins are significant contributors to the development of many health issues and are responsible for aging.

Greska’s Carbon-60 sunflower oil contains compounds and vitamins that have been reported to be beneficial to your skin. Sunflower oil can help reduce wrinkles.

Carbon 60 acts as an antioxidant and cell detoxifier that supports the reduction of allergy symptoms, inflammation, and promotes healthy joints. It significantly supports healthy aging, increased energy, and cognitive function.

Reported Benefits of Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E and also contains vitamins A, C, and D, making it effective in the treatment of acne. Sunflower oil contains vitamins and fatty acids that act as antioxidants to regenerate new skin cells and help your skin rid itself of acne-causing bacteria. The high amount of beta-carotene, vitamin E, and fatty acids are essential for skin barrier repair.

The vitamin E and oleic acid in Carbon-60 sunflower oil can help protect the collagen and elastin in the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in your face.

Carbon-60 sunflower oil has anti-inflammatory properties that help lower skin redness and roughness. Carbon-60 sunflower oil is high in omega-6 (linoleic) fatty acid, which helps decrease inflammation in the skin and enhances the development of new skin cells.

C 60 in olive oil causes light-dependent toxicity and does not extend lifespan in mice

Intraperitoneal injections of C60-OO did not affect the lifespan of CB6F1 female mice. Finally, we conduct a lifespan and healthspan study in males and females C57BL/6 J mice comparing oral treatment with pristine C60-EVOO and EVOO alone versus untreated controls.

We failed to observe significant lifespan and healthspan benefits of C60-EVOO or EVOO supplementation compared to untreated controls, both starting the treatment in adult or old age.
