Iranian Nanotechnology Company Produces Chemical-Free Sunscreen Cream for Children

‘Pars Hayan’ company made the product which is an oxide nanoparticle-containing sunscreen cream, enabling a strong protection against the harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Also, it is fortified with vitamins C, E and panthenol, which are essential for the neutralization of free radicals and sufficient retention of skin moisture and elasticity.

The addition of oxide nanoparticles to the sunscreen has led to higher absorbance of harmful light rays.

The sunscreen cream can be used for protection of oily skin and acne treatment.

Earlier this year, a technology company in Iran had also started using nanomaterials in producing anti-pathogen ointment and also creams to reduce the appearance of pimples on the body.

According to a report by Iran’s Nano Development Headquarters, Ebrahim Akbarzadeh, the managing director of a technology company and a professor of Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology (KNTU) said that his company has received a nanoscale certificate for gold, silver and iron nanoparticles, adding, “These nanomaterials are sold to various companies for use in their products.”

“In addition to the production of these nanomaterials, we tried to make products ourselves. Considering the positive effect of gold nanoparticles in production of collagen for skin rejuvenation, we have developed a formulation for the production of a cream, which is currently in the process of receiving licenses from the Food and Drug Organization,” he added.

“We also used silver nanoparticles to formulate creams with anti-pathogen properties and reducing pimples on the body,” Akhbarzadeh went on to say.
