Saguna ® develops and manufactures health and beauty products made from colloidal silicic acid, an aqueous and highly dispersible form of silicon and oxygen. Silicon is the most common natural element in our environment, second only to oxygen. Silicon is found in nature as silicon dioxide or silica, and in the hydrated or aqueous form as silicic acid. Silicon, as an oxygen compound - silicic acid, is found in most organs and tissues in the human body, mainly in the connective tissues, in the walls of the blood vessels, the lungs, the trachea, the tendons, bones and cartilage, the skin, hair and nails.

Colloidal silicic acid is essential to human health and has a variety of functions within the human body. Saguna ® has developed two unique products using colloidal silicic acid, scientifically formulated to render the silicic acid highly dispersible and active, that can be used to effectively help a range of ailments both internally and topically.

Silicol Skin has been proven in clinical trials to be extremely effective in the treatment of acne. Silicol Skin can also be used as a deep cleanser as part of your skin care routine. It is ideal for sensitive skins as the active ingredient, silicic acid is found naturally in our food and water, it is non-toxic and has been dermatologically tested. Silicol Skin can be used as a topical facemask, which is applied to the skin in a thin layer and left to dry. Once the facemask has dried onto the skin and turned white, after 10-15 minutes it is then washed off with luke warm water.

Silicol Skin and Acne: Clinical double-blind studies show that a twice-daily application with Silicol Skin significantly reduces blackheads / whiteheads (comedones), pimples and pustules within a few weeks. Silicol Skin is effective at clearing acne and cleansing the skin because of its large reactive surface area. When applied as a facemask Silicol Skin forms a coating over the skin, and due to its binding properties absorbs impurities, bacteria and excess sebum. It has a cooling effect on the skin, helping to reduce itching.

Silicol Skin and Cleansing: Silicol Skin is not only for those suffering with acne, it is also a great revitalising deep cleansing mask, which effectively absorbs excess oil, bacteria and other impurities leaving the skin visibly fresher and brighter. In addition, the slight lifting and tightening effect, as the gel dries on the skin, temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Silicol Skin is ideal for those with slightly oily skin. The facemask can be used daily over the T-zone and weekly for really deep cleansing.
