Product Description


Ingredients: SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE Purified Water, Colloidal Silver

 

The use of silver as an antimicrobial agent dates back into ancient times, when people first learned that water stored in silver vessels kept better than water stored in other types of containers. Colloidal silver is a solution of microscopic metallic silver particles dispersed in water.

Silver ions are known to be anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory which makes this an exciting ingredient for use in personal care products. Traditionally used to help wound healing, silver is now being incorporated as an anti-bacterial active into deodorants, sanitizers, wet wipes, intimate hygiene, dandruff shampoo, products for problem skin, men products, foot creams and oral care products.

This ingredient can also form part of a products preservation system although please note that as a preservative, our suspension is unlikely to work on its own in most products. Colloidal silver is much better at tackling bacteria than yeast and mould.

Silver Concentration: 2000 – 3000 ppm (parts per million = mg/L). This equates to 0.2-0.3% as supplied.

Note:   The only way to be sure that your preservative system is working in your product is to carry out micro testing.  While we are happy to pass on information and make theoretical recommendations of how to get the best out of our ingredients we can make no guarantees without this testing.  There are two levels of test that a microbiological lab will do - one is a micro count which gives you a 'moment in time' look at the cleanliness of your formula and may also characterise the microbes present.  The second is a Preservative Efficacy Test or PET. This is highly recommended as it tests how your product performs over time when it is challenged by microbes.   You are legally required to market and sell products that are safe and microbial stability is an important part of that.
