Hello Dr. Pickart,
I would like your scientific opinion on the current fad of using energized water in skincare products. Firstly can water actually be energized? Secondly, what is your opinion on this product which is said to contain dark energy which is supposed to expand the water contained in skin cells? agelesssecret.com

I don't believe any of this.

Water can be energized in various ways, such as with types of free radicals, but this would be toxic to living skin cells.

Dark energy is not understood by the best physicists on this planet and is very difficult to measure. Dark energy is an attempt to explain why galaxies are moving apart so fast.

There also is dark matter. The only way is to study dark matter is by the movement of stars in galaxies. Basically, there is not enough normal matter in galaxies to hold the stars together. So physicists have postulated that there is a type of dark matter in galaxies.

..........

Any effect from this product is possibly that the ingredients of niacin and MSM do something.

Also, 15 sprays per day will wet the outer skin proteins like wetting moisturizers that wet the outer skin proteins. But this is a variant on the old "I Love Lucy" cold creams at night - which made the skin look a little better at the price of more wrinkles.

Again, it looks like Fast Effects vs Slow Rebuilding in skincare.

Dr. Pickart - is it possible to add energy to water by way of a Catalyst? Would these ingredients (used as a catalyst) change the shape of water molecules?:

quote:

The ingredients have been catalyzed with Niacin, Cayenne Pepper, Ho Shou Wu and Helichrysum. A catalyst is a substance that is used to add energy to make a chemical reaction go faster. We use the technology to add energy to our ingredients. The catalyst is not used up in the reaction and does not become part of the final product. So, none of these substances are present in the finished formula. Catalyst chemistry makes possible many chemical marvels and is as close as modern science gets to the ancient practice of alchemy.

Note that the Niacin is not present in the finished product so would it still have an effect on the skin?

Thanks for your advice.
