Silver has been demonstrated to accelerate healing of virtually every type of soft tissue damage and is one of the most studied, most effective, and most trusted ingredients on the market - natural or otherwise.
For many thousands of years, silver has been used as a healing agent by civilizations throughout the world. Its medical, preservative and restorative powers can be traced as far back as the ancient Greek and Roman Empires.
Used externally and in low concentration as we do in The Honey Mud and The Jasmine Garden, silver translates to serious protection against acne, inflammation, irritation, rashes and on and on - and also prevents us from having to turn to synthetic preservatives (many of which contain potentially carcinogenic parabens) that do not meld with my core philosophy on keeping these potions truly clean and healthy.
I love silver. It's both powerful and gentle and makes my formulas that much more effective and stable. If you would feel comfortable wearing silver jewelry against your highly absorbent skin, or eating off a silver-plated spoon (even today recommended and prescribed for infants with compromised immune systems), then we have confidence that you should feel very safe and well taken care of indulging in thoughtful facial care treats incorporating this unique ingredient.
