SilverPure skin care products harness the revolutionary power of pure silver! Silver nanoparticles are the main ingredient in our skin care formulations. It has been proven in numerous studys that bacteria, viruses and fungi die within seconds of exposure to silver nanoparticles. Yet, elemental silver is nontoxic to human skin and tissue.  Extremely small nanocrystalline particles (1~100um) of pure silver come into physical contact with bacteria and viruses through topical applications of our salves and skin creams. The silver nanoparticles are so small that they are smaller than the actual bacteria or viruses. When the cream or salve is applied to the affected area, it kills the pathogens within seconds. Our products contain between 20,000 and 50,000 ppm of nanosilver particles.

We chemically manufacture our own silver nanoparticles in the US at our Indiana facility. We control the precise steps crucial to produce high quality nanoparticles and we can consistently insure a superior quality nano silver product. SilverPure ultra pure nanocrystalline particles are comprised of real .9999+ elemental silver. Particle size and concentration of the silver nanoparticles are the key to the destruction of dangerous pathogens and fungi. We have increase the surface area of the silver millions and millions of times. Through our manufacturing processes, we are able to produce extremely high quality particles of nanocrystalline silver. This clearly sets SilverPure apart from other silver skin care products.

Why silver ?

Free silver particles are known to be active anti microbial and antiviral agents and also kill fungi (fungus mold/mildew). SilverPure developed a nanocrystalline silver particle skin emollient of suspended Ag sub-microscopic particles (1~100nm) small enough to come in contact with and kill pathogens within seconds. Nanocrystalline silver particles come into contact with bacteria or viruses and suppress their respiration process. This, in turn, adversely affects their cellular metabolism and inhibits cell growth. As opposed to antibiotics, the pathogens will not get a resistance to the silver nanoparticles. Antibiotics are great to fight pathogens from the inside of a human or animal body, but silver nanocrystalline particles are best for the outside of the body - the skin!

Is silver safe? Is the silver safe for my children?

Silver has been used for centuries to prevent and treat diseases & infections. Silver coins were used in ancient Greece & Rome and by US western settlers as a disinfectant for the storage of water and other liquids. The NASA space shuttle's water system uses tanks that are coated with silver to stop bacterial, viral and fungi growth. In a groundbreaking study last year at the University of Texas and the University of New Mexico researchers killed the HIV virus and feel that silver will kill virtually any virus! Toxicology Test Results indicated no harmful effects in an Oral Test with mice. It is equally safe for children, pregnant women and the elderly.

Below are tests from IRIS which is a part of the government. they tested silver particles against other precious metal particles and concluded that silver was non carcinogenic and safe for use on the skin. The silver particles were injected under the skin. The silver is the same silver as the jewelry you would wear. It's elemental silver...not a chemical.
