Dimethyl Sulfone (MSM) for Skin

Properties: Anti-Aging

MSM (also known as Dimethyl Sulfone, Methylsulfonylmethane, and Methyl Sulfone) is a naturally occurring organic sulfide molecule present in all living beings. It is the purest and bio-available form of Sulphur, one of the fundamental elements required for life and cell renewal. MSM has long been used as a dietary supplement to improve joint health and mobility, as well as for strong hair and nails, beautiful healthy skin, and a variety of other health concerns. MSM is beneficial for all skin types and ages. It has been shown to be particularly helpful in the treatment of acne, eczema, and psoriasis, as well as sensitive and troubled skin, and it helps keep skin healthy and robust to protect against premature aging and skin damage. Sulfur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and is regarded as the 'beauty mineral' as well as the 'healing mineral' due to its ability to boost collagen formation, stimulate circulation, and reduce inflammation. It is required for the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
