Quick Facts

Who Silica Is For

• People who want a tissue salt for hair, skin and nails
• Anyone building a beauty-focused tissue salt routine with Kali Sulph or Calc Fluor
• Tissue salt users who want the single No. 12 salt rather than a combination
• People who prefer a small chewable tablet to large capsules
• Those who already use Martin & Pleasance salts and want to complete the set of twelve

Who this product is NOT for:

• Anyone with lactose intolerance or a milk (dairy) allergy, and vegans — the tablets are made on a lactose base
• Anyone looking for a milligram-dose silica or horsetail supplement — this is a 6X homeopathic tissue salt at 0.5 mcg per tablet
• Sudden hair loss, nail changes or skin problems that persist — see a health care practitioner

Vitamart's Take

Silica is the last of Dr. Schuessler's twelve salts. Martin & Pleasance calls it the "Cleanser & Conditioner", and its Canadian label keeps it simple: a hair, skin and nail nutrient. Silica is present in the skin, hair and nails, and the brand pairs it with other skin and hair salts in combinations like Comb K. If you're comparing it with the dietary silica supplements in our Silica collection, remember those supply milligram amounts, while this is a 6X homeopathic preparation in a lactose base.

How Silica Compares

Silica vs. Kali Sulph (No. 7)

Silica is labelled as a hair, skin and nail nutrient. Kali Sulph is labelled for the temporary relief of dry, scaly skin, minor eruptions and dandruff.

Silica vs. Comb K

Comb K combines Kali Sulph, Nat Mur and Silica and is labelled for brittle nails, falling hair and flaky scalp — the broader option if your concern is specifically hair and scalp.

Tissue salt vs. dietary silica supplements

Dietary silica supplements (for example horsetail-based formulas) supply milligrams of silicon. Silica No. 12 is a homeopathic tissue salt at 0.5 mcg per tablet.

What Is Silica (Silicon Dioxide)?

• Silica is silicon dioxide, No. 12 — the last — of the twelve tissue salts described by Dr. Wilhelm Schuessler in the 1870s

• Its Martin & Pleasance name is "Cleanser & Conditioner"

• It is part of the brand's Comb C, Comb F, Comb H, Comb K and Comb U combinations
