Plant silica
Silica [Eyeshadow - Corrective cream- Cream foundation - Compact foundation - Fluid foundation - Make-up base - Lip gloss]
A mineral ingredient contained in a wide number of plants. Rich in revitalizing properties, it stimulates the repair of damaged body tissue. Silicon is an indispensable component for healthy body functioning. It is rapidly absorbed, and its effects are boosted by amino acids in the molecular structure. Tests have proven that mineral loss begins with a reduction in silica levels. Moreover, silicon is an essential element for maintaining healthy, beautiful skin. Silicon deficiency leads to dry skin and premature wrinkles: as the skin ages the density of collagen fibres is reduced, resulting in the tightening, deterioration and creasing of the fibres. Therefore silicon is vital for collagen and elastin fibre synthesis, responsible for the skin's elasticity and healthy balance. An excellent soothing agent, it accelerates the repair of wounds, burns and skin complaints (eczema, acne, mycosis, itching). Silicon has the highest element content in the body, after magnesium but ahead of iron. It is found in the skin, arteries, conjunctival tissue, adrenal glands, bones, brain, thymus and lymphatique system ... Silicon brings healthy benefits to the whole body system, and has an impact on all body cells. Its effects are essential to the body as it is considered to be a holistic remedy, and a silicon deficiency may lead to a wide range of diseases.
