Centuries ago, gold was known to be able to significantly improve the skin. This is why the precious raw material was already used in traditional Chinese medicine and by Paracelsus for skin care and in the treatment of skin diseases. To this day, gold is a popular raw material in the skin care industry. Colloidal gold in particular - also known as gold water - is used in numerous creams, masks and serums. The precious metal is also popular as small particles in shimmer lotions or peelings.
What effect does gold have?
Gold water consists of gold particles dissolved in distilled water. These have different chemical charges and therefore repel each other. This creates a permanent state of suspension. This is used in skin care. For many bodily functions it is important that the electrons can flow unhindered, including skin cell repair. The colloidal gold supports this regeneration of the skin by improving the conductivity of the DNA in each individual cell. This means that the cells can be supplied with much better energy, thus efficiently reducing cell damage. The gold also inhibits the natural glycation processes and thus ensures a firmer, tighter and younger complexion.
The anti-inflammatory effect of the precious metal gold should not be underestimated. Gold also protects against oxidative stress and stimulates the production of radical scavengers such as glutathione or superoxide dismutase.
Gold as an anti-aging product
If gold water is incorporated into a product, the ingredients of the creams or serums can penetrate the skin cells better and work there faster and more efficiently. This is why gold is the perfect ingredient for anti-aging products. Gold can also have a soothing, moisturizing effect on sunburn.
As an anti-aging mask, the gold transports substances such as hyaluronic acid, algae essences, coconut water, trace elements and vitamins deep into the cells. There, the beauty boosters can be activated much better by the gold and can cover wrinkles and lines well. Pigment spots can also be skilfully treated in this way.
Gold as a body care product
Gold is also found in many body lotions. It promotes the contour-forming, firming effect of the lotions and significantly improves the firmness of the connective tissue and collagen fibers. The gentle shine of the gold particles makes the skin shimmer and radiate even more.

Gold as a peeling product
Gold is also used in peelings. Its fine microparticles create a peeling effect. It removes dead skin, dirt and dead skin cells, improving cell activity. If oils are also used for skin care, you can achieve a silky soft complexion after just a few applications.
