How? One word. Millet.

Because millet is the bomb! A very tiny (almost invisible to the unequipped eye) yet very powerful beauty bomb – it’s rich in iron, potassium, vitamin B, fiber, protein, silica.

Normally you’d find silica as a supplement in the drug store – it’s amazing what it can do for your skin, hair and nails. And in millet you’ll find it in the best combination possible.
