What is Silica Water?
First, let’s get to know about silica. We will explain in detail about silica water, not only its effects as a cosmetic, but also the effects that can be obtained by drinking it.
What is silica anyway?
Silica is also called silicon dioxide and is represented by the letter Si in the element symbol. It is a type of mineral that exists in the human body in amounts of about 18 g. It has the effect of strengthening the connections between collagen and hyaluronic acid in the body, and is an ingredient that supports the firmness, elasticity, and moisture of the skin. Because of its role in connecting tissues, it also has the effect of keeping hair and nails beautiful. It is also involved in bone strength and blood vessel elasticity, making it an extremely important nutrient for the human body.
Silica cannot be produced by the body, so it decreases as we age.
Silica decreases with age, but it is troublesome that the body cannot produce silica. Especially after the age of 40s, the silica content in the body rapidly decreases, and the skin, hair, bones, etc. become weak. The ideal way is to supplement silica with vegetables, but the amount of silica contained in vegetables and grains is very low.
What is the daily intake of silica?
In Japan, there is no set daily intake of silica, but research in the U.S. has shown that oral intake of 30 to 50 mg per day can strengthen the bones. Since there is no specific amount set in lotion, it would be no problem to use it morning and evening. It is important to be proactive in taking in this nutrient, as it is often in short supply.
The appeal of silica (silicon) lotion
Silica is popular as drinking water, but it is also highly effective as a lotion. Because silica is an element that originally exists in the body, it causes few problems even with sensitive or allergic skin, and it is safe to use for all skin types. It is also effective for use on the scalp and hair, so if such uses are included, a single bottle of lotion can provide a variety of benefits. Many people use silica water for drinking as it is as a lotion, but if it is sold as a silica lotion, you will be able to feel the effects on your skin. If it is water, it is often called silica water, but if it is lotion, it is sometimes called silicon lotion.
