Zelens cream comes in a simple green glass jar and has an active ingredient Fullerene C-60, an anti-oxidant for which a team of scientists received a Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1997. The company claims that Fullerene C-60 is 100 times more effective than Vitamin E in the same concentration for neutralizing free radicals, which are the big boogeymen of aging skin. The creams promise to "prevent environmental damage to the skin's DNA" as well as stimulate the action of cells that produce natural collagen. The day cream sells for $200.
