Silica

Anti-aging, exfoliating, smoothes, firming, rejuvenating

Natural silica is an exfoliator and environmentally sound alternative to the commonly used plastic beads (polyethylene) and is much gentler to the skin than alternatives such as walnut shells.

Commonly used in cosmetic face powders, silica imparts a smooth texture to the skin and allows the powder to blend evenly over the face as well as enhancing the aesthetic and functional quality of the product.

There are many benefits of silica. It is known for absorbing toxins on the skin, helping to keep it clean and free of blemishes and acne. The silicon in silica gel is known to increase the firmness and elasticity of blood vessels in the skin, causing a newer, healthier look. It helps slow the aging process, again helping skin look more vital and healthy. Silica when used as a product on skin is cooling keeping inflammation of the skin down.

As we age, the source of silica in our bodies becomes depleted, contributing to wrinkles, dry skin, dull hair, and brittle nails and bones. Maintaining collagen augments elasticity and beauty. Collagen owes that attribute to Silica, which provides a beautiful complexion that is more than skin deep. Silica has been regarded as nature's building block and is our answer to healthier, younger looking, more radiant skin, hair and nails. It is a universal element in the human body that can be found free and soluble in water or combined with proteins and lipids, and has an exact relationship to mineral absorption. Silica is fundamental in the manufacturing process of antibodies and antigens for the immune system.
