Super Power

Multifunctional silicon, the mineral-rich micronutrient is, without a shadow of a doubt, an ideal companion for winter.

What is it?

A micronutrient integral to our immune system, Silicon adds strength to our bone structure by regulating the calcium levels. It relieves joint pain by assuring smooth functioning of cartilages, ligaments and tendons. Consumed as complementary to meals, silicon also helps in the regeneration of the essentials (epidermis, nails and hair). It also gives a considerable boost to keratine production.

Where to find it?

Found in living organisms, it grows in grains like wheat, oats, almonds and dates. To boost our natural, cellular defence and to reinforce the mineralisation of bones, it can be ingested orally in the form of organic silicon gels.

How it aids in beauty regime?

To augment its benefits, you can integrate the latest anti-ageing line by the House of Thalgo into your beauty routine. There are two creams and one serum infused with marine silicon from micro sponges of a diatomaceous nature, from unicellular micro algae with silica shells. You can also apply Super Base (it has 1% silicon) by Kure Bazaar that can make nails sturdier.
