Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like
substance acting similar to Vitamin E.
However, research shows it is a more powerful antioxidant.
CoQ10 is critical to the production of energy in every cell of the body.
It aids in circulation, stimulates the immune system, increases tissue
oxygenation, and has vital anti-aging effects. Coenzyme Q10 has
exceptional antioxidant properties. Studies show that it can
effectively counteract free radical damage and provide
significant protection against UVA-induced depletion
of cell membrane. In other words, it will prevent
damage to collagen and elastin production
process and help you avoid wrinkles.
COQ10 has a deep orange color. Your cream or lotion should be peach
in color, and is absorbed on contact and leaves no tint. No cream that
purports to have a biologically significant amount of COQ10 can be
any other color. Visit the cosmetic counter anywhere and examine
the other so called "COQ10 Creams." as compared to your
MIY creams! They will appear white, no hint of peach at
all. This is your signal they contain insignificant and
ineffective amounts of COQ10.
NOTE: you can always add the C0Q10 at the stage of application as well!
Make a small container and add a dollop to the palm of your hand,
mix it up and apply. Fresh as can be without the
problem of oxidization.
