Where does it come from?
Hydrated silica is derived from natural sources, primarily from quartz or sand. It is produced through a process known as precipitation, where silicon dioxide is synthesized under controlled conditions to create a fine, hydrated powder. This synthetic process ensures high purity.
Exfoliation: Hydrated silica acts as a gentle abrasive, helping to exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells and promoting a smoother, brighter complexion.
Oil Absorption: It has excellent adsorbent properties, making it effective in controlling excess oil and shine on the skin's surface.
Thickening Agent: Hydrated silica can increase the viscosity of formulations, providing a desirable texture and consistency to creams and gels.
Improved Application: It helps to improve the spreadability of products, ensuring even application and enhancing the overall sensory experience.
How is it used in our products?
Hydrated silica is used, for example, in F77 Olive Matcha Face Maskfrom OLIVEDA. Included for its ability to improve the texture and stability of creams. It helps in exfoliating the skin and removing dead skin cells, effectively absorbing excess oil.
