What is MSM powder?

Dimethylsulfone (methylsulfonylmethane or MSM) is a substance that occurs in all living beings. It is the purest form of sulfur, a mineral that is essential to be able to live and for the renewal of our skin cells. MSM functions as a kind of glue that holds amino acids together, allowing tissue to form. And our body largely consists of tissues.

Benefits

Anti-aging

MSM is the ingredient when it comes to anti-aging. Collagen and elastin, two substances that keep the skin supple, firm and young, cannot be produced without sulfur. The natural production of collagen and elastin decreases as you get older, but by regularly nourishing your skin with MSM you can keep the production of these substances active longer. This reduces the chance of fine lines on the face, promotes the natural defense system of body cells and protects and preserves healthy cells and tissues.

Reduces breakouts

MSM powder is also fantastic for making facial products that help reduce breakouts. MSM ensures that the skin remains more permeable, allowing waste products to pass through the skin more easily. This way you prevent blockages that lead to breakouts and blackheads.

Soothes red skin

MSM powder can soothe red and sensitive skin and help restore rough, dry skin. Scars can also become less visible when they are regularly applied with MSM powder.

How do you use it?

MSM powder is soluble in water and alcohol. It can be added during the water phase of your recipe. For example, make an 'MSM gel' in combination with Xanthan gum and Demineralized water and add 1 to 15% MSM powder.

What is so special about it?

MSM is formed in the ocean, where microscopic plankton release sulfur into the water. This sulfur transforms into a sulfur gas that enters the atmosphere. This gas reacts to ozone and sunlight, causing it to change into MSM powder. This powder reaches the earth through rain and is then collected and concentrated by plants.

MSM occurs abundantly in nature, but is very difficult to collect. For example, it is not possible to extract MSM from trees. MSM powder that you buy from us or in the store is therefore made in a lab, where the natural oxidation process of sulfur is replicated.

Sulfur has been used since the time of Hippocrates because of its powerful effect on skin and tissues.
