Lea Cares develops and produces products under its own auspices. The
products are all produced with BioActive Mineral, a panted technology which has been proven to increase the bioavailability of Si (silicon) and Ca (calcium). Silicon in bound form is normally sparingly soluble in a neutral environment. But in the mineral calcium silicate, Si and also Ca can be obtained in loose form, which gives the possibility of local delivery of Si and Ca. They are absorbed locally into the skin to give the intended effect. Calcium silicate is used today in clinical applications as a medical device and in addition, it is regulatory approved for use in cosmetics and industry.
The unique thing about the use of calcium silicate in cosmetics is increased growth of collagen which improves and strengthen nails, skin and hair. Lea Cares therefore sees great opportunities in developing cosmetic and animal care products.
Lea Cares are pursuing early development projects within the field of wound care. The aim is to develop novel products containing BAM – to facilitate rapid healing and less scar tissue.
Use of silicon for skin and hair care: an approach of chemical forms available and efficacy.
