Silica gel packets are full of small grains of silicon dioxide in solid form. The technical name for it is silica xerogel, but most people just call it silica gel. It?s a desiccant, which means water molecules are drawn to it and out of whatever is surrounding the packet. The water can move through the packaging, which is usually paper. That means they?re used to keep moisture, and thus mold, mildew, damage, odors, and staining, away from sensitive items. It?s also why you find them in so many packages.
