THE BEAUTY MINERAL
MSM (Methyl Sulphonyl Methane) is a natural form of organic sulfonyl sulfur compound that is found in all living organisms. It is the purest and most bio-available form of sulphur, one of the essential minerals crucial to life and the regeneration of cells. MSM has traditionally been taken as a food supplement to increase joint health for peak flexibility and mobility, as well as for strong hair and nails, beautiful skin, and many other health conditions. OSKIA is the first premium brand skincare range to harness MSM’s highly beneficial properties.
MSM can benefit all skin types and ages. It is known to have been highly effective in the treatment of conditions including acne, eczema and psoriasis, as well as sensitive, and problematic skin, and helps keep skin healthy and strong to guard against premature ageing and skin damage.
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
It is found in the fluid and tissue of all living organisms. It is present is a variety of foods including raw vegetables, eggs, milk and fish, but is lost through cooking and food processing. We use OptiMSM, the purest form available.
MSM originates in the oceans where microscopic plankton release sulphur compounds into seawater, which is quickly converted to DMS, a volatile sulphur compound that escapes into the atmosphere. In this suspended, gaseous state, the DMS reacts with ozone and ultraviolet sunlight to create MSM. MSM then falls to the earth with the rain, where it is collected and concentrated in plants. Although MSM is abundant in nature, even the richest natural sources only provide MSM in the level of several parts per million. Commercial extraction of MSM from trees is not possible so a process is undertaken which parallels the natural oxidation that occurs in the marine atmosphere and produces MSM that is chemically identical to that found in nature.
Oskia uses OptiMSM™, the purest form of MSM. It is distilled four times for optimum purity and is the only MSM supported by double-blind clinical research.
