    SCHOTT’SGLASS-BASED POWDER

    11.14.05
    ● Finely-ground glass is surprisingly gentle
    and good for the skin, according to
    new research from Schott Glas, Mainz,
    Germany. The company has developed
    Vitryxx, a white powder made of glass
    ground to one-fifth the grain size of
    sugar crystals.
    The technology is known as bioactive
    glass. According to researchers at
    Schott Glas, it can have a soothing
    effect on the skin. Although glass is
    normally thought of as hard and sharp,
    bioactive glass technology produces a
    product that “has a positive effect on
    human skin,” insisted Claire Buckwar
    of the company.
    The idea is based on the use of glass
    in the medical profession, with applications
    such as the healing of bone,
    Schott executives said. “In contrast to
    most other implant materials such as
    titanium and plastic, the human body
    does not seem to regard bioactive glass
    as something foreign,” Ms. Buckwar
    said. “It binds to both bone and soft tissue
    without a problem.”
    For cosmetic applications, “the...
    secret lies in getting the proportions of
    the primary materials (silicon, calcium,
    sodium and phosphorous) right,” said
    Ms. Buckwar.
    The glass is produced in a melting
    furnace, where it forms irregularshaped
    pieces that cool into paper-thin
    pieces. The pieces are then ground to a
    microscopically-fine powder.
    “The glass powders have an antimicrobial
    and anti-inflammatory effect,”
    said Ms. Buckwar. “When used as
    the basis for deodorants, the powder
    kills the bacteria that generate odor.”
