Good Silicon+®
LEARN MORE
Good Silicon+® is made of skin-friendly natural Silicon, lipids, and amino acids. It wraps around ingredients to protect them from oxidation or degradation and keep them in their active, effective form.
Silicon is NOT the same as Silicone. Silicone (with an ‘e’ at the end) is a synthetic polymer. Good Silicon+ is based on elemental Silicon (without an ‘e’ at the end), which occurs in nature. Silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth’s crust and is an important trace element in the human body.
Good Silicon+® protects ingredients from degradation Many skincare ingredients, such as L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) or Vitamin E, are unstable. Which means they break down when exposed to oxygen or light and lose their efficacy. Good Silicon+ creates a protective shell of silicon, lipids and amino acids that stabilizes molecules.
Good Silicon+® boosts skin absorption The skin’s protective barrier, the stratum corneum, contains a matrix of fatty molecules called lipids. Fat and water don’t mix. Which is why hydrophilic (= water-loving) ingredients like L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) struggle to cross the stratum corneum. Good Silicon+ wraps ingredients in lipids, which facilitates their absorption through the skin’s lipid matrix.
Good Silicon+® dissolves into the bioavailable form of silicon As the Good Silicon+ particles slowly dissolve, their ingredients are released over time, giving them time to work where they’ll be most beneficial. At the same time, Good Silicon+ becomes a beneficial ingredient itself. It dissolves into orthosilicic acid, the absorbable form of Silicon, which supports collagen production and general skin health.
That’s what makes Good Silicon+ so GOOD.

Good Science Beauty has its origins in biotech research. Our founder, Dr. Suzanne Saffie-Siebert, PhD, is a leading expert in drug delivery – the science of transporting pharmaceutical compounds to their target site in the body, in order to make them safer and more effective.
Through her biotech company, SiSaf, Suzanne developed a variety of drug delivery technologies that use biodegradable silicon particles for the needle free delivery of medicines.
Many cosmetic ingredients share the same challenges faced by pharmaceutical ingredients: they degrade easily when exposed to air or light (such as Vitamins A, C, and E) and/or their molecular size or solubility profile restrict their uptake by the target organ – the skin.
Skincare is a passion of Suzanne’s. Like most people she has tried countless skincare products that didn’t do what they promised. So she decided to apply her delivery technology to cosmetics – and Good Science Beauty was born.
FEELING SENSITIVE?
If you have sensitive skin, the 005-FI SKIN FIRMING CREAM is your go-to moisturizer.
It contains no known irritants or allergens and is packed with antioxidants to boost your skin's defenses. Most importantly, the 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream feels amazing.
Many customers have told us how much they love the refined texture of the 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream. It's lightweight and elegant. It has a completely neutral scent. And like our other face creams, it absorbs instantly, leaving no sheen or film, which makes it perfect for layering with other skincare products or under makeup.
Because of its gentle formulation, the 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream is also great as an eye cream.
The 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream features a unique combination of Poria Cocos and Barley Extract to boost skin elasticity and even out skin tone.
Poria Cocos is a mushroom widely used in traditional Chinese medicine that is rich in Beta Glucan, an intensive humectant that promotes collagen synthesis and helps strengthen the skin barrier.
Barley Extract is a natural source of Hordenine, which helps reduce wrinkles and even out skin tone.
For added skin rejuvenation, combine the 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream with our 003-Hy Hydrating Face Cream (see our FIRM + HYDRATE DUO) and 003-Hy Hydrating Facial (see our FIRM UP TRIO).
