bryan said to continue posting here while waiting for the other blog.
was at my toast cafe this morning, midvalley. had roti canai. not bad, quite crispy and curry chicken was nice. asked bryan the easiest way to explain what chiral means. if i only want one line, what would it be?
bryan said, chirality in lay man's word means, perfect fit ...
long explanation would be ...
nature always come in pairs, left and right, eg, our hands, even though identical, there's a left and right hand. in order to shake the right hand of another, you need a right hand. that would fit perfectly. try shaking someone's right hand with your left. does not fit. so, ingredients that are chirally-correct are ingredients that "fit perfectly" into the skin receptors.
get it???
for a skin care product to work effectively, the ingredients must first be chirally-corrected, otherwise they would not "fit properly" which means, would NOT penetrate into molecular levels and would only remain on the surface of the skin. these chirally-corrected ingredients goes further and beyond nano ingredients (and nano are already making such a big deal about how small and how fine their ingredients are). not a big deal at all, bc eventhough they may be small and fine, but if not chirally-corrected, still cannot penetrate into molecular levels, as well as chirally-corrected ingredients can.
in short, all ingredients should be chirally-corrected for it to work effectively. this is an expensive delivery system. am fortunate to come across toujours la vie some 8 years ago ... :D
