While Silica is a naturally occurring mineral, in nature it is found bound up in forms that make it unsuitable for direct cosmetic application. Silica is most commonly found in Sand and in the soil as the crystalline mineral Quartz. Silica in the soil is utilised by plants as mono silicic acids to help them improve their drought tolerance and strength. This silica is transferred to animals (including humans) when we eat the plants and here it helps with collagen production and general growth and development. As the silica in Quartz is impossible to separate out, sand (a rich source of silica) is put through several processing steps that result in the silica (Silicon Dioxide) that we are talking about here.
