HYDRATED SILICA

Silica

Safety grade: A**

Silica is a fine, powdery mineral derived from sand and rocks. It's commonly used in cosmetics as a gentle abrasive and absorbent ingredient.

Hydrated silica absorbs excess oil and moisture, smooths texture, prevents clumping in powders, and helps thicken or thin products to achieve the right consistency while improving appearance.
