Costa Mesa, CA (PRWEB) May 26, 2005 -- QuantumSphere, Inc. today announced
Dermacia, Inc., a pioneering California maker of advanced therapeutic cosmetics
and skincare products, has selected QuantumSphere to supply nanosilver for
Dermacia's advanced line of therapeutic cosmetics and skin care products
designed for acne sufferers. As manufacturer of the world’s highest quality
nanosilver, QuantumSphere will provide Dermacia with its nanopowders of
unequalled purity and particle uniformity, enabling Dermacia and its medical
advisory team of dermatologists and plastic surgeons to further validate the
performance and value of nanosilver and other nanometals for their
antibacterial, sun protectant and other key properties.
Following
extensive testing, Dermacia has chosen QuantumSphere nanosilver and other
QuantumSphere products as key ingredients in Dermacia's latest line of exclusive
makeup and skin care products. Dermacia is currently using the nano-ingredients
in select makeup and skin care products and other applications. Additional
products incorporating QuantumSphere nanotechnology are in development. Using
QuantumSphere technology, Dermacia has conducted extensive research to develop
ingredients and processes employing QuantumSphere's uniquely pure ingredients as
a part of its Nano2infusionTM technology.
QuantumSphere manufactures and
sells nanopowder renderings of several elemental minerals. Dermacia combines
biotechnology, cosmeceuticals, cosmetics and nanotechnology, to serve as the
technology hub for skin care products. Dermacia’s LYCOGelTM Complex serves the
market with the first “breathable makeup” application that promotes healing with
a cosmetic base for burn victims and surgery patients. Dermacia recently
announced the introduction of a new line of cosmeceutical products to address
millions of people around the world who cannot use traditional cosmetics due to
sensitive skin conditions, estimated to be a market size in excess of $50
billion. This follows QuantumSphere’s announcement that it unveiled new
nanopowders for biomedical applications to significantly advance medical
diagnostic results previously undetectable using conventional
technology.
“We are extremely pleased that Dermacia will apply
QuantumSphere’s QSI-nanoTM silver product to leverage their position as a
leading-edge provider of products that we believe will ultimately be adopted by
medical and consumer markets across the globe. We are delighted to introduce our
technology to a firm that maintains and grows its sales channels so well. Having
commenced commercial sales of its products less than two years ago, Dermacia now
sells through more than 1,000 surgical and dermatological centers across the
country; and is aggressively expanding throughout Asia, Europe and Latin America
as well,” said Kevin Maloney, CEO, QuantumSphere, Inc.
“Combining
QuantumSphere’s nanosilver with Dermacia’s Nano2infusion technology will further
solidify Dermacia’s position as the industry leader in state-of-the-art
‘breathable’ cosmeceutical products which promote oxygenation and healing of the
skin, which is currently a huge unmet consumer need,” said Matt A. Nicosia, CEO,
Dermacia, Inc. “When it came to finding a manufacturer and supplier of
nanosilver, QuantumSphere provided us with the best choice. Their world-class
management and scientific team, coupled with their exclusive manufacturing
process, provided us with the highest purity, consistent particle size
nanosilver on the market,” Nicosia added.
QuantumSphere is the leading
manufacturer of metallic nanopowders for applications in the aerospace, defense,
energy, biomedical and other markets demanding advanced material applications.
QuantumSphere enables order-of-magnitude performance improvements for certain
applications by using nanotechnology in existing materials to make new products
or to multiply the effectiveness of existing products. QuantumSphere is uniquely
positioned to meet the demands of the marketplace, as the firm’s facility
continues to increase capacity, with a production target of 2,500 pounds of the
world’s purest nanopowders, including nanosilver, monthly.
