The molecular instability of ozone (O3) is at the root of its beneficial effects. One of the three oxygen atoms tends to separate from the other two in order to chemically bond with other materials, thus exerting its oxidizing and disinfecting action. The only side effect is the formation of a stable oxygen molecule (O2), so nothing that can harm humans.
However, the very molecular instability of ozone made it difficult for a long time to insert it into other substances in order to exploit its positive effects in various fields. The first significant attempt at success was the work of Dr. Knox, in 1914, who managed to obtain an ozonated olive oil for medicinal use. In fact, the molecular chemical structure of the oil manages to incorporate ozone, keeping it stable until the moment of application when, decomposing, it exerts its disinfectant and oxidizing action.
While maintaining the same basic principle, advances in research in the cosmetics sector have allowed ozone to be used in other types of oils, creams and gels, in order to create various products for the care and well-being of the body. However, ozonized olive oil remains a basic principle in many of these products. Let's look at some practical examples.
There are ozone facial creams capable of bringing immediate and visible improvements from the first applications, making the skin brighter, hydrated, elastic and toned. They regenerate the vitality of epidermal cells and improve blood circulation. All this has a rejuvenating effect that fights the signs of ageing. At the same time, it is an excellent solution for making inflammation and redness disappear, and for contributing to various treatments for acne, herpes simplex and shingles.
Oxygen-ozone liquid soaps, containing ozonated olive oil, cleanse the skin, sanitize it, do not alter its pH and leave it perfectly clean and moisturized. Combined with the constant use of ozone face creams, they combat ageing and the formation of wrinkles.
You can also use an oily body milk with a very high concentration of ozone. It stimulates blood circulation, helping the body to expel waste and toxins. It makes the skin incredibly supple, soft and smooth. It has a smoothing and anti-ageing effect. It works effectively against cellulite and orange peel skin. At the same time, it can relieve heavy legs and swollen ankles.
There are also oxygen-ozone exfoliating creams with which you can gently remove dead cells and impurities, accelerating skin renewal. These products also stimulate blood circulation and revitalize the skin's texture, making it fresher, brighter, smoother and softer.
From skin care to tooth care. Here, Sioot can be proud of the creation of an ozone toothpaste, with an exclusive composition patented by its president and founder, Professor Marianno Franzini. It is a product that, thanks to its bactericidal action, contributes to oral hygiene and, at the same time, cleans teeth without creating hypersensitivity phenomena and protects against caries in the long term. Not forgetting its effectiveness against irritated gums and its progressive teeth whitening effect for a brighter smile.
It also has ozone for healthy hairthanks to a special shampoo that revitalizes the scalp, preserves and activates the scalp's natural defenses and improves blood microcirculation. By bringing bioactive oxygen to the hair bulbs, it combats devitalization and hair loss, as well as being effective in preventing dandruff and flaking.
More than a century after the first concrete results of medical and cosmetic research, hyper-zonized olive oil, transformed with the addition of other ingredients into shower and bath oil, is still a very valid product: restores blood and lymph circulation and is particularly effective on the legs, making them lighter and less swollen. By promoting the drainage of excess fluids, it also fights cellulite. The bath, hydromassage or ozone shower leaves the skin toned and moisturized.
Created especially for men, the pre- and post-shave liquid, with ozonized olive oil and no alcohol, is quickly absorbed and leaves an immediate and pleasant sensation of freshness. By applying a small amount to the face before and after shaving and massaging gently until completely absorbed, it helps to restore the skin's integrity and the skin will feel soft and relaxed.
Research into cosmetics has led to the creation of other products based on oxygen and ozone, such as beauty masks, creams against dark spots on the skin, specific anti-cellulite creams, soothing creams for hemorrhoids, analgesic gels and gels to promote circulation.
