Antioxidants & Healthy Ageing
Meet the tiny molecule doing
big work at a cellular level
You've spotted Carbon C-60 in our Age Well range.
Here's what it actually is. Why we added it.
And how it fits into your daily ritual.

You've probably noticed the conversation around ageing well has shifted. It's not just about what you can see. It's about what's happening underneath. At a cellular level, out of sight, where ageing actually begins. And that's where Carbon C-60 comes in.
Why we added it
Ageing well, means paying attention to what's happening beneath the surface, not just what shows up in the mirror. Carbon C-60 fit that philosophy exactly: a genuinely researched antioxidant molecule working at a cellular level, alongside two oils we already trust for their own healthy-ageing benefits. It felt like a natural next step for the range.
Carbon C-60 is a tiny, perfectly spherical molecule made of 60 carbon atoms. It was discovered in 1985, and has since become one of the most studied antioxidant molecules in the world.
That spherical, cage-like structure can neutralise multiple free radicals at once, again and again - which is part of why researchers have been fascinated by it for decades.
Free radicals build up from everyday life. From sun exposure, stress, pollution, even just the passage of time. And they're part of what drives visible and cellular ageing. Antioxidants help mop them up. What makes C60 stand out is its shape: that cage-like structure gives it an unusually high capacity to do this, again and again, at a cellular level.
Carbon C-60 Cellular antioxidant support matters as we age, by:
- Neutralising free radicals from sun exposure, stress and pollution
- Supporting the body's natural defence against everyday oxidative stress
- Complementing, not replacing, the diet and lifestyle habits that matter most
- Fitting easily into a ritual you already have - your morning coffee, your breakfast, your daily routine.
Most of the research on C60 so far is lab and animal-based - including a well-known 2012 study on C60 in olive oil (Baati et al., published in Biomaterials) and cell studies dating back to the 1990s.
The cellular-level science is genuinely exciting.
Mister Jones Carbon C-60
99.99% pure C60, carried in either Australian Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil or MCT oil from 100% coconut. Just 1 teaspoon (5mL) a day. Because ageing well starts at a cellular level.
How to use it
Just 1 teaspoon (5mL) a day. Straight off the spoon, in your coffee, or stirred through food - whatever fits your morning. Like most good habits, consistency is what counts.
A couple of safety notes
Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Store below 30°C, away from sunlight, and skip the fridge. Chat to your healthcare practitioner first if you're managing a health condition or taking medication.
Age Well
Ageing well is rarely about one single ingredient. It is the small, daily choices that add up over time, at a level you can't always see.
Carbon C-60 is one part of that picture: a genuinely fascinating molecule, backed by real (and still-developing) science, doing its quiet work at a cellular level, one teaspoon at a time. One simple step that makes a difference.
