Silica, also called silicone dioxide, and Hydrated Silica are minerals. The Silica used in cosmetics and personal care products is amorphous Silica. This means that the Silica has no definite form.Crystalline silica, which has a specific arrangement of the atoms, is not used in cosmetics and personal care products.Hydrated Silica has additional water atoms bound to Silica.ilica can absorb moisture from the air. Therefore, packets of Silica are often kept with items that must be kept in a low moisture environment. A common use of Silica in cosmetics and personal care products is as an abrasive.
