Silica is a natural compound made up of oxygen and silicon molecules that naturally occur in the human body. It’s the third most abundant element in the body and is found in bones, tissues, and — most importantly for us — the skin.

Silica is essential for collagen production, helping improve skin elasticity. It stimulates fibroblasts, which release collagen type 1 — the type that minimizes fine lines and keeps skin looking youthful. It’s truly an anti-aging superstar! 

Another important fact: as we age, our bodies struggle to retain moisture. This leads to a loss of hydration, which is critical for collagen production and skin elasticity. Silica promotes glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), molecules that hold up to 1,000 times their weight in water. By binding to GAGs, silica helps maintain hydration — and hydrated skin is essential for collagen production. 

Silica is also anti-inflammatory. It can help relieve symptoms of acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Plus, it’s great for sensitive skin — carrying oxygen while being gentle and non-irritating.
