A good mineral supplement can work wonders for your skin.
Minerals nourish and protect your skin cells. They help with wrinkles, sun damage, hydration, and fullness. They can even reverse skin aging.
A lot of skincare companies advertise topical mineral products, like creams—but research shows you’ll see more benefits from taking minerals internally.
Here’s a look at the best minerals for skincare, and how a good mineral supplement can help you get smoother, healthier skin.
Hydrate and Reverse Aging with Copper & Silicon
A lot of skin health comes down to collagen.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your skin, and unlike most proteins, it’s highly flexible. Collagen gives your skin an ideal balance of structure and elasticity.
When you have plenty of collagen, your skin stays full and smooth. Collagen also retains water, which keeps your skin hydrated. [ * ]

But as you get older, fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen, become less efficient. [ * ] They stop being able to keep up with your skin’s needs. The result is a natural decline in collagen production, which causes your skin to age.
However, skin aging isn’t inevitable. If you feed your fibroblasts minerals, you can enhance their collagen production and restore your skin to a younger, smoother state.
Your fibroblasts use two main minerals to make collagen: copper and silicon .
Copper is an important cofactor in collagen production, and it’s also involved in skin repair. A 2014 found three main skincare benefits to taking copper: [ * ]
-
Increased skin collagen levels
-
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles in people’s faces
-
Increased skin elasticity
Silicon is good for your skin, too. Your fibroblasts need large amounts of silicon to make collagen, and studies show that supplementing with silicon can help maintain production as you age.
In a 2005 study, women took a silicon supplement for 20 weeks. Their skin became more elastic and decreased in roughness. [ * ]
A 2018 study found similar results. Taking silicon reversed signs of skin aging in women over 30. [ * ] After 150 days, participants had more collagen production, smoother skin, better hydration, and fewer wrinkles.
As an added bonus, silicon also helped detox aluminum, a toxic metal often found in cosmetics. Participants’ hair samples showed a continuous decline in aluminum levels throughout the study.
Together, copper and silicon will support your collagen production as you age, keeping your skin radiant.
Reverse Wrinkles and Sun Damage with Selenium & Zinc
Sun exposure is another cause of skin aging. [ * ] Sunlight contains UV radiation that penetrates your skin, damaging collagen proteins and triggering inflammation. [ * ] Too much UV exposure leads to wrinkles, sagging, and rough, uneven skin.
As long as you don’t get a sunburn, small amounts of UV light are good. Your skin needs it to produce vitamin D, which promotes brain health and helps you build hormones. [ * ]
Over decades, however, even minor daily UV light exposure will age your skin.
That’s where selenium and zinc come in. These two minerals help protect your skin from sun damage, and may even reverse the effects of UV exposure.
Selenium is more than a mineral. It’s also an antioxidant that reduces inflammation. Selenium acts like a shield, guarding your cells from UV rays and preventing sun-induced skin aging. [ * ]
Selenium is also a precursor to glutathione, which makes it invaluable for anti-aging. Glutathione is the strongest antioxidant in the human body, and one of your skin’s best defenses against premature wrinkles and roughness.
A 2021 study found that selenium increases glutathione activity in people’s skin, making it a frontline supplement for anti-aging. [ * ]
Zinc is also great for skin health. It blocks UV light, which is why it’s often the main ingredient in sunscreen. But zinc isn’t just topical. Research shows that zinc supplements also protect against UV damage in skin cells. [ * ]
In fact, a 2014 study found that zinc actually reverses sun damage, making it ideal if you want to get rid of wrinkles or repair sun-worn skin. [ * ]
Selenium and zinc work together to protect you from the sun, while copper and silicon keep your collagen levels high. If you want your skin to age well, you need all four of these minerals in abundance.

FAQs
Can I take BEAM Minerals with my other supplements?
Yes, in fact, BEAM Minerals will enhance the bioavailability of all your other supplements.
What is the difference between Micro-BOOST™ and Electrolyze™?
Electrolyze™ is primarily composed of Fulvic Mineral Complexes . Fulvic complexes are small molecules that provide inter-cellular transport for nutritional elements into the cells and carry bio-waste out of the cells. Fulvic complexes are flavonoids , which provide many benefits in the body.
Micro-BOOST™ is primarily composed of the Humic Mineral Complexes . Humic complexes are large molecules that are extra-cellular, meaning they do not enter the cells but stay outside the cells. They are highly-charged molecules that attract, through their electrical charge, bio-waste, free radicals and heavy metals. They ultimately carry bio-waste out of the body. Thus, we call them “Nature’s Janitor”.
How many milligrams (mg) of an electrolyte (Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium, etc.) is there in BEAM Minerals?
The quantities of each element in BEAM Minerals products are measured in “parts per million” (ppm), rather than the “milligrams” (mg). Here is the information which usually helps to understand the difference:
Milligrams (mg) vs parts per million (ppm)
In comparing our products to other supplements, people want to know how much of an electrolyte is in our products (like potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium). Usually they are looking for an amount in milligrams (mg).
We have a hard time answering that question, because the electrolytes (and other elements) in BEAM Minerals products are measured in parts per million (ppm). So how can consumers compare?
The answer is a little complex, but here’s the high points.
The electrolytes in BEAM Minerals products are provided in “trace” amounts that are completely dissolved and thus 100% bio-available, immediately introduced into your circulation when you consumed them and will produce and active effect.
When you take a 320mg pill of magnesium, your body is only able utilize about 12-20% of it as it takes some time because your body has to digest it first. Whatever is not dissolved gets processed out of your body.
When you take a capful of liquid Electrolyze™ and/or Micro-BOOST™, you receive approximately 5.22 ppm of magnesium in which 100% of the magnesium is immediately available to your body. In addition, an important to know is that the magnesium in BEAM Minerals products stay in your system much longer building up healthy levels as you continue to take it daily.
