WCN Skin Lotion

A harmful environment surrounds our skin: UV waves from the sun,¹ air pollution, chemicals on clothing (bleach, dyes, detergents, and synthetic fabrics), and chemicals in make-up and in skin lotion.² At certain levels, our cells have mechanisms to resist these harmful factors, but they need adequate cellular nutrients to execute normal functions.^3-5

Whole cellular nutrients (WCN) are the complete substances needed by cells to execute their normal functions. Our experiments show that when cells are exposed to harmful factors, such as UV and chemotherapeutic agents (DTIC), WCN has a protective effect ― more cultured cells survived in the presence of WCN than without (Fig.1, 2). The results indicated that, although harmful factors exist in the environment, WCN makes cells stronger, enabling them to survive a harsh environment.

WCN skin lotion is made based on the above concepts. It contains more than 240 nutrients that can be absorbed slowly by the skin to nourish and protect skin cells. Therefore, WCN skin lotion is not just a moisturizer; it is a nutrient mixture, providing many substances that skin cells need. It is a kind of whole food for your skin cells.

Our experiment shows that WCN skin lotion is able to protect apple cells from UV oxidation. A sliced apple was divided into two areas (Fig.3). The left side was coated with WCN lotion. The right side was coated with commercial Olay lotion. The grooved area was uncoated. The apple was exposed to UV waves for 10 minutes (UV-A, 940 µW/cm2). The pictures were taken while being exposed to UV waves. UV oxidized cells are brown. The darker the color, the more oxidized the apple cells are. WCN lotion has better oxidation protection than Olay lotion. This experiment shows that WCN lotion can protect live cells from oxidation. To extend this logic, applying WCN lotion should protect skin from oxidation, too. Therefore, it may delay the aging of skin, especially the areas exposed to the outside environment.

Use: For individuals with very sensitive skin, test any new lotion on your forearm skin (palm side) first. If no allergic reaction appears after 24 hours, you can apply the lotion on other locations. Having multiple nutrients, WCN lotion will benefit your skin, especially the areas exposed to the sunshine. In winter and spring, apply WCN lotion all over the body and it will nourish dry skin. Areas with age spots, sunspots, calluses, acne, eczema, keratosis, melanoma, psoriasis, and other skin lesions may also benefit from this lotion. The areas with odor, such as feet and armpits, are also good places to apply this lotion. However, do not apply this lotion to the eye area or to broken skin. Stop use immediately if allergic reactions or side effects occur. Apply the lotion as many times as you want every day. The more you use it, the more nutrients your skin will absorb and the more benefits your skin will have, such as p reventing sunburn, fading your age spots, and minimizing wrinkles.

WCN lotion is always made fresh. To maximize the benefits of this lotion, use it as quickly as possible. We recommend finishing it out in 2~3 weeks since some light, temperature, and oxygen sensitive nutrients (such as Vc) degrade in the lotion as time passes. However, this is not the case for many other nutrients such as minerals and amino acids. To prolong usage time up to 4~6 months, keep the lotion in the refrigerator since our tests show that low temperature slows the degradation. The chart on the right side (Fig.4) shows the Vitamin C decline curve in the WCN skin lotion: in room temperature, Vc in the lotion dropped close to the baseline within 3 weeks and maintained a relatively low level for a long time. On the other hand, the Vc in the lotion kept in the refrigerator had a much slower degradation. Once oxygen sensitive nutrients are degraded, the antioxidant capacity and the available nutrients in the lotion for skin absorption would not be in full scale. Therefore, we use small packaging and recommend finishing it out in 3 weeks.  Table 1: Effects of WCN skin lotion tested on 37 volunteers for one month. The effects are as reported by the volunteers who tested the lotion.

Positive Effects	Count	Percent
Softer skin	11	30%
Smother skin	5	14%
Moist skin	7	19%
Lighten age spots	5	14%
Clear acne faster	1	3%
Soften calluses	1	3%
Faster insect bite healing	1	3%
Faster urticaria healing	1	3%
No Change	5	14%
Negative Effects
None	34	92%
Slight redness	1	3%
Slight stinging during application	1	3%
Slight itching during application	1	3%

Examples of using WCN skin lotion on aging spots: the following pictures were taken under a UV-A light. UV-A light shows a better contrast of age spots on skin. After 2-4 weeks of using WCN skin lotion, the age spots faded.

Age spots on 40-year-old volunteer
Age spots on 50-year-old volunteer
Age spots on 55-year-old
Age spots on 65-year-old skin

Examples of using the lotion on other skin lesions:
A woman got burned in similar locations on each hand. She applied the WCN skin lotion on one hand only and the burned skin healed quickly in 3-4 days, while the other burn without the WCN skin lotion required several additional days to heal completely
