Eco Silver

Eco Silver is an active ingredient produced through a specialized physical-chemical process that combines Silver Oxide with plant-derived organic acids, ie Citric acid and Lactic acid. This transparent, colorless, and odorless liquid provides a sophisticated, bio-based solution for antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorant protection.

Key Features & Benefits

  • 100% Bio-Derived Acids: Utilizes lactic acid from root beet and citric acid from cassava, supporting “Clean Beauty” and sustainable sourcing.

  • Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Robust defense against bacteria and fungi, making it ideal for both preservation boosting and active body care.

  • High Water Solubility: A liquid format that integrates seamlessly into aqueous systems without the dispersion challenges of metallic powders.

  • Multifunctional Active: Acts as a deodorant agent, antimicrobial stabilizer, and skin-conditioning ingredient.

Formulation & Stability Guidelines

  • Incorporation: Highly water-soluble; add to the aqueous phase in cold-process formulas

  • Optimal Stability: Maintain formulation below recommended pH and avoid processing temperatures register to discover.

  • System Compatibility: * Compatible: Most surfactants, emulsifiers, Xanthan Gum, and acrylate polymer thickeners.

    • Incompatible: Avoid strongly cationic ingredients and systems; potential incompatibility with cellulose (HEC, HPMC) and starch derivatives.

  • Protection: Finished products should be protected from light; testing is required if using transparent packaging.

  • Applications: Skin care, body and foot sprays, roll-on deodorants, wet wipes, and face/mask creams.
