Someone mentioned this product in another thread and it got me wondering. Is this the similar to PSF 02 serum or not? It doesn't really list the ingredients on the GOW website but says the following:
"This is a liquid concentrate of non-toxic stabilized oxygen electrolytes in a molecular form."

Does anyone know more about this? Any thoughts? |

Hi,
I don't think this stabilized oxygen is suppose to replace PSF's O2 serum. Stabilized oxygen is supposedly used as a preservative. Markey will have a better idea. |

Hi Theresa!!
Actually, I can only give the details about what we offer. You can ask PSF if this is the same product they use in their serum though. I don't have access to their formulas. Wish I did.
Just kidding!! They make great stuff!!

Markey,
Does your stabilized oxygen have an ingredient list or does it go by another name than just stabilized oxygen? (I hope you know what I mean by this question since I am not sure I am asking it properly!)
Another question, how does stabilized oxygen work as a preservative? I understand the part about killing bacteria but what is the purpose of the following "to increase cellular oxidation for their water based formulations or the water phase of a particular formula as well"? I really am sort of clueless since I am not a DIYer (yet....) but since I often think about DIYing I am really curious about alot of this stuff.

Theresa - I was thinking about posting a thread about oxygen enrichment alternatives and this came up! The only thing I know about the PSF O2 serum is that its active Perfluorodecalin is used intravenously to deliver oxygen and from my readings it seems highly effective and stable BUT I am not sure how this works topically.
I am convinced that increased oxygenation is good for the skin but I don't think there are enough alternatives out there. The most common and controversial one is hydrogen peroxide H2O2 - I am wondering if using it at less than 1% (not the 3% many suggest) dilution will not cause oxidation but actually be beneficial for the skin - since active honey and many friendly bacteria release minute amounts of H2O2 as the main defense against harmful bacteria. |

miranets-I guess I am in the opposite camp on the issue of oxygenating the skin. I tend to think that it is a bad thing but I don't press that point since I don't have real proof that I am right on this.
I don't really know if less hydrogen peroxide would be safe or not. My guess is that it would cause oxidation but I really don't know. It is possible that it does cause some oxidation but that the skins antioxidant system is able to rapidly deal with the free radicals generated if the percentage used is low enough. Or maybe not. Without seeing actual studies that address this it is impossible to say for sure.
I do wonder what this GOW product is and hopefully Markey will be able to shed some light on that. It may be more like the oxygen products from brands like Zenbiotic than like the PSF one but I don't know at this point. |
