What is colloidal silver?

Colloidal silver is fine particles suspended in a liquid. Such a mix has a healing effect only when you use distilled water of high quality. Otherwise, there can be minerals in it that could limit the action of the silver. This mineral has a wide range of uses when it comes to skin and hair care as well as healing. Silver is used for:

  • various infections and skin diseases,
  • eczema or skin rash,
  • open wounds,
  • acne,
  • warts,
  • antiperspirants.

Colloidal silver can also help in healing and calming:

  • burns, including those due to sun exposure,
  • skin itching,
  • cold sore,
  • yeast infection,
  • pink-eye,
  • fungal infection,
  • chickenpox,
  • insect bites,
  • psoriasis.

Is colloidal silver unsafe?

Before you start testing cosmetics with colloidal silver take into consideration the fact that there are no production norms or control for it and it may have all sorts of side effects. For this reason, products available in shops may differ in the method of production and the amount of silver in the composition. Luckily, some limitations have been introduced and those state that the maximum amount of silver in the composition can be 25 ppm.
