  • The surface of the pure and very fine microsilver is highly porous, has a sponge-like structure and releases silver ions in small quantities. This is intended to inhibit bacterial cell division and consecutively prevent bacterial reproduction.
  • Additives such as provitamin B5 and zinc are supposed to enhance the soothing effect.
  • Itching, a feeling of tension and redness should be minimized and the fat and moisture content improved.
  • Silver textiles can also be used in the treatment of atopic eczema.
