About
A flashy mineral suspension with more marketing appeal than clear skin benefit.
COLLOIDAL DIAMOND/GOLD is a suspension of fine mineral particles used mostly for luxury positioning and surface feel. Topical systemic risk is probably low, but colloidal metals can irritate reactive skin and gold in particular can be a contact allergen for some people. The benefit-to-uncertainty ratio is not especially impressive.
