Silicic acid contains the vital trace element silicon (Si). In the body, silicon (Si) is the “building material” of the connective tissue, which is key to the health of the entire body. Silicic acid also strengthens the connective tissue with its exceptional water bonding capacity. Healthy, strong connective tissue is the prerequisite for smooth skin and strong hair and fingernails.
Silicic acid in its ultrafine (colloidal) form with its large active surface area binds, for instance, substances causing inflammation, and is therefore ideal for external application on areas of circumscribed local skin irritation, such as:
- minor superficial wounds, especially
- small cuts
- cracked skin, abrasions, scratches
- bedsores
- inflammatory skin disorders, pimples
- local skin irritation associated with allergies in conjunction with inflammation
- minor burns and scalding of the skin
- sunburn
The connective tissue at the hair roots and in the nail bed is supported and the hair structure and nail plate are strengthened.
The balm can be used internally as a beauty treatment. Regular use over a period of around 12 weeks is recommended. When used externally, silicon gel has an anti-inflammatory effect and relieves local skin irritations such as minor burns, sunburn or pimples. The 200 ml pack is therefore also ideal for on the go.
