Common Name(s): Silanetriol arginate
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Conditions and firms skin with the combined silicon and arginine amino acid activity.
Why It's Used: Used for skin firming and conditioning combining silanol's known skin tightening activity with arginine's vasodilating and collagen support properties.
How It Works: Silanetriol (trihydroxysilane) provides skin-conditioning organosilicon activity; arginate (arginine) provides amino acid conditioning, vasodilation support (no precursor), and wound healing activity.
