Why 70% Silica Matters

Silica plays a structural role in skin and hair, contributing to firmness, elasticity, and overall resilience. By upgrading to a 70% silica standardization, this extract delivers significantly more functional mineral content per use level compared to traditional bamboo extracts, allowing formulators to achieve results at lower inclusion rates.
