Nanocomplexes that treat your dark eyes and puffy circles

It’s been a few years (July 15, 2010 posting) since I’ve seen a cosmetics company touting its nanotechnology-enabled products. The practice seemed to have died out in Canada and the US (at least) due to concerns that people might object to nano-enabled skincare products. For example, my Feb. 9, 2012 posting describes how an anti-nano sunscreen campaign by the Friends of the Earth resulted in some unexpected behaviour in Australia.

BIONOVA seems to be defying current practice as a Nov. 4, 2014 news item on Azonano describes their nano-enabled skin care treatment,

Winter can be cruel for the skin, especially for the sensitive eye area. Drastic temperature swings add additional pressure on the skin in order to keep homeostasis of the organism. The negative impact of winter makes eyes look older. The carried out study in New York, found that 82% of women have dark circles and puffy eyes in winter as opposed to 38% in summer.

Science in Action

In the past, there was no physiological approach for treating puffy eyes and dark circles. It has changed with BIONOVA’s arrival. The knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry helped BIONOVA’s scientists to find a solution to increase adaptation mechanisms of skin to the extreme weather condition and thereafter, help prevent and treat Puffy Eyes & Dark Circles. The proprietary technologies allowed to contrive special NANO-COMPLEXES™ that contain specific, natural to the body ingredients that help increase Self-Healing processes in the sensitive Eye Area. This novel treatment approach brings the results never possible before.

The company seems to have appropriated a term ‘nanocomplexes’ and trademarked as NANO-COMPLEXES. I was unable to find an explanation or description of the trademarked term on either the company’s US website or its UK website.

The company’s founder and expert, Dr. Michael Danielov, offers a bit more information (not on NANO-COMPLEXES) on this PR Newswire webpage profile (http://www.profnetconnect.com/bionovalab.com?lang=es; while the URL suggests this is a Spanish language page, the material is in English). I’ve excerpted the sections about publications and professional qualifications,

 White paper/research:

The fundamental science behind BIONOVA’s technological platform has started three decades ago in Georgia in the Institute of Experimental Morphology Academy of Science (former Soviet Union), when Michael Danielov began his research in study of pathogenetical mechanisms and thanatogeneses (mechanisms of death) of post-aggressive reactions of the

Living Organisms.

Dr. Danielov was the first to reveal that the best approach to future medicine would be to start using substances that naturally exist in the body, instead of creating and administrating new molecules. With his team of scientists he discovered methods of ‘copying’ nature, actually learning how to ‘put together’ multiple biological informational substances in physiological concentration (nano-and pico quantities) that living system needs to repair malfunctioning lines of information communication and to preserve their biological stability. The phenomenal volume of data and its careful analysis brought Dr. Danielov to a new scientific concept: ‘The Concept of Biological Information Transfer in Living Organisms’ that literally changed the understanding of human adaptation mechanisms.

Books/articles published:

Dr. Danielov is the author of more than 40 openly published scientific articles and one book in his field of research:‘“The Pathogenetical mechanisms of post aggressive reactions development in organism”.

He is the author of published series of articles related to his proprietary Scientific Concept of “Biological Information Transfer” and to Life Science Nanotechnology in ‘Critical Care & Catastrophe Medicine’ magazine.

Awards/associations/memberships:

Through 1981 to 1989 Dr. Danielov in cooperation with some of the world’s best mathematicians, equipment, and process designers, including Dr. K. Kalantarov, Dr. A. Kaufman, and Dr. Beliakov developed four generations of automatic scintillation counters for beta and gamma radiation. For this unique developments in 1984 Dr. Danielov and the team of co-developers were nominated for the ‘State Prize’ – the highest USSR award in science and technology.

Dr. Danielov is the elected professor of Georgian Critical Care Medicine University.

Educational background:

Ph.D. in Pathophysiology, 1985
MD Tbilisi State Medical Institute, Faculty of General Medicine, 1976

To sum this up, it’s impossible to tell how this product is nanotechnology-enabled and the term ‘nano-complexes’ seems to be used primarily in the field of ‘nanomedicine’.
