In November 2006, New York
based Duprey Cosmetics (www.DupreyCosmetics.com)
entered into a $10 million dollar contract with Nutrilab Corporation
(St. Petersburg, Florida) to incorporate patented Nanotechnology
into their lip stain and other products.
Nanotechnolgy
has aggressively entered the cosmetic field, and is considered the
“hottest technology” available.
A
line of Duprey NanoCosmetics™ will be introduced to the public
in 2007. TDNano ™, Nutrilab’s natural edible NanoMolecule,
will be the cornerstone of the new Duprey line.
Cosmetics
giant Estee Lauder entered the NanoMarket (2006) with a range of
products containing NanoParticles. The products, including anti-wrinkle
creams, are said to be absorbed deeper into the skin due to Nanosized
particles in the formulations.
L’Oreal,
the world’s largest cosmetics company, is devoting about $600
million dollars, of its $17 billion dollar revenues, to Nano patents,
and has patented the use of dozens of “nanosome particles”
800 times smaller than a human hair as delivery systems for nutrients.
With
192 patents in Nanotechnology, L’Oreal now ranks No. 6 among
Nano patents in the United States. At L’Oreal factories, nanosize
bits are being created with high-pressure machinery that fires droplets
of material at the speed of sound. L’Oreal is focusing its
research efforts and expertise on engineering ultra-tiny particles
that can act on skin and hair in ways that naturally occurring molecules
cannot.
Christian
Dior of France, Procter & Gamble, Shiseido, Estee Lauder, and
other rivals of L’Oreal are hot on the heels of Nanotechnology
in cosmetics, incorporating Nanoparticles into their products.
Nano
products introduced by L’Oreal include Revitalift (described
by L’Oreal as containing Nanosomes” of Pro-Retinal A),
Vichy Reti C, Biotherm Age Fitness Nuit, and Revitalift Double Lifting
(which delivers vitamin C into skin). L’Oreal intends to introduce
cosmetics containing Nanoparticles engineered to produce more vivid
colors, including metallic’s and iridescent shades.
Nutrilab
Corporation scientists have been perfecting Nanotechnology since
1997, and hold numerous patents dating back to 1983. Nutrilab’s
Research & Development team include Award-winning anti-aging
scientists, Genetic researchers, and Quantum Physicists.
Duprey
Cosmetics President, Jim Duprey, stated “We are thrilled to
have obtained licensing rights from Nutrilab for Nanotechnology
in cosmetics, and plan on introducing Nano-Cosmetics to the public
in 2007.”
From
super-models to the intelligencia, Duprey Cosmetics (Allure, Marie
Claire, Lucky magazines) can be seen on celebrity faces, such as
the cast of Law & Order and Desperate Housewives, the Pussycat
Dolls, super-model Niki Taylor, Mia Kershner, Fantasia Barrino (American
Idol), and author/poet Maya Angelou.
In
high-tech cosmetics, Nanotechnology takes skin care, make-up, and
beauty products to an entirely new level of sophistication. Nano-based
products offer the ability to combine cutting-edge science with
cosmetics, creating a new market based on quantum physics. Nanotechnology
also expands the range of ingredients that can be used, and allows
microscopic-surface-coating for vitamins and other substances.
