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.
A UNIQUE CLAY MASK
THAT PURIFIES + HYDRATES
If you love self-care, clay masks should be your number one choice for the ultimate DIY facial.
Trouble is most clay masks tend to feel tight and dry out your skin.
Enter our 001-PU PURIFYING FACIAL.
This Kaolin based mask has a texture like whipped cream and it doesn't leave your face feel dry or tight. On the contrary, it moisturizes your skin.
Leave the 001-Pu Facial on for 10 to 15 minutes, wash it off - and your skin will feel smooth, soft and hydrated.
The 001-Pu Purifying Facial features the power partnership of Willow Bark and Niacinamide to help control blemishes and minimize redness and pores.
It's the perfect facial mask for oily or combo skin. But because the 001-Pu Purifying Facial is so gentle and hydrating, it also works really well for blemish prone skin that is dry or sensitive.
ALLERGY ADVICE: Willow Bark contains Salicin, a precursor of Salicylic Acid. In case you are allergic to Salicylic Acid (Aspirin), the 001-Pu Purifying Face Cream is not suitable for you.
