ActiveBeads™ Silica (Hydrated Silica Scrub Beads)

ActiveBeads™ Silica (Hydrated Silica Scrub Beads), designed for use in face, body, and foot care products, provides a robust exfoliating action that helps to deeply cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. These beads are particularly effective at removing dead skin cells, excess oil, and impurities from the skin's surface, promoting a clearer, more radiant complexion and smoother body skin. Due to their fine, abrasive texture, they are also excellent for softening rough areas like heels and elbows, making them ideal for comprehensive foot care routines. Hydrated silica beads are non-irritating and safe for most skin types, ensuring a gentle yet effective exfoliation process. Their use enhances blood circulation, which aids in skin renewal and overall skin health. Furthermore, it can help in the preparation of the skin for better absorption of moisturizers and other skincare treatments, maximizing the benefits of your skincare regimen.
