Silica, also known as silicon dioxide (SiO2), is a natural compound found in the earth's crust and is present in the human body. It plays a crucial role in strengthening bones, nails, and overall health. Silica is used in skincare products for its ability to boost collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It also helps in faster and stronger nail growth, provides relief in skin inflammation, and gives a matte finish to oily skin. Silica is a perfect replacement for microplastics used in exfoliating products. It is also used in personal care products like toothpaste, antiperspirants, dental powders, sunscreen products, nail polish, fragrances, lipstick, powders, makeup, creams, and hair care.
