Hi, how are you?
Did you know that Silica, widely used as a cosmetic raw material, actually exists in various forms in nature?
“Spicule”, named as a raw material called hydrolized sponge, is also called “Natural Acicular Silica” extracted from sponges, and has recently gained popularity as a cosmetic raw material.
The effect of silica absorbed in the human body through drinking water collected from mineral-rich bedrock water is positive.
Silica was considered one of the “19 essential nutrients in drinking water” by the World Health Organization (WHO), which can lower cholesterol and help regulate body inflammation**.
It suppresses bone-destroying osteoclasts and promotes osteoblast production, helping bones grow stable and strong.
Furthermore, studies have shown that the absorbed silica through drinking water helps to produce an important protein present in the skin, blood, cartilage, and muscles which is called collagen. Also it reduces skin roughness and wrinkles, and makes hair and nails stronger***.
Due to the positive effects of silica, silica-containing water, ‘Silica silica (シリカシリカ)’ products are gaining popularity in Japan. In addition, in Korea, one bottle of ‘Baeksansoo(백산수)’ is promoting that it contains the recommended daily intake of silica.
As such, Silica, an essential nutrient for the body, is a safe raw material to use.
Use the SUNSIL series, silica developed for cosmetic raw materials in various formulations!
