Close the Gap is one of Ætherbal’s most meaningful creations. This specialty topical was designed with inspiration from the skin’s own natural wellness journey — often described in four overlapping stages: defense, renewal, strengthening, and refinement. Each stage highlights the body’s remarkable ability to restore itself, and Close the Gap was developed to complement this philosophy by focusing on skin wellness and appearance. Close the Gap can be incorporated into your daily routine wherever your skin needs a little extra care and attention

🌿 Herbal Tradition Meets Innovation 🌿

In herbal traditions around the world, plants have been used to comfort, soothe, and support the appearance of skin exposed to life’s daily stresses. Close the Gap honors this heritage by incorporating herbs such as calendula, plantain, and Aloe — each valued historically for its role in skin care. Blended with our patent-pending Orthosilicic Acid base, the result is a topical that embodies both ancient wisdom and modern innovation.

🌱 The Origins of Close the Gap 🌱

This formula is where Ætherbal began. Originally developed as part of Bonnie’s Master Thesis in Herbal Medicine, Close the Gap reflects years of research into skin wellness traditions and modern science. Though inspired by research into complex conditions, today it serves as a topical crafted to honor the skin’s natural processes and support its appearance.

💎 Orthosilicic Acid — Innovation at the Core 💎

Our Orthosilicic Acid is a water-soluble form of silicon — often called the forgotten macronutrient — delivered in a unique liquid/gel system. Sometimes referred to as the “beautifying mineral,” silicon has long been associated with the vitality of skin, hair, and nails.

What makes our approach different is that we don’t rely on base oils or dilutants for our herbal constituents and essential oils. Instead, every topical is built on our proprietary orthosilicic acid foundation. This form of OSA is unlike any other silicon preparation available today.

Through our patented process, silicon is presented in a hydrated liquid/gel state we call Silicon Plasma — a new frontier of mineral delivery that combines the elemental qualities of silicon with a highly distinctive texture and feel. Neither liquid, gas, nor solid, this state can be thought of as a higher octave of water and matter.

The concept of a “fourth phase of water,” made widely known by Dr. Gerald Pollack, inspired us to explore structured gel states of minerals in our own work. Because of its unique electrical charge and density, our Silicon Plasma Hydrate offers a strikingly smooth and refined application. Tuned through magnetic and light spectrums, it is crafted to promote a sense of balance, harmony, and alignment.
