Creams Made With Colloidal Silver

Why We Use Colloidal Silver in Our Creams at Cynthia’s Naturals At Cynthia’s Naturals, we take a different approach to skincare. Instead of using water, we incorporate colloidal silver into our creams. Did you know that most commercial creams are made up of 70-80% water? By replacing that water with colloidal silver, we not only infuse our products with its healing properties, but we also use it as a natural preservative, avoiding the chemical preservatives found in many conventional creams. The Difference in Texture and Feel We’re all familiar with the silky-smooth feeling of today’s creams—they glide on effortlessly, absorb quickly, and leave no greasy residue. However, this luxurious texture often comes at the cost of chemicals and synthetic ingredients that give the cream its lightweight feel. In contrast, natural creams, especially those with fewer additives, tend to feel heavier and sometimes leave a slightly greasier texture, especially when there’s less water. When I first started making my own creams, I was surprised to learn that only about 10% of the ingredients in most commercial creams are beneficial. The rest is made up of water, thickeners, emulsifiers, and other ingredients that simply help the cream feel nice on your skin. Once you start reading ingredient labels and researching what’s in your skincare, it’s an eye-opening experience. That’s why I decided to create something better—formulating creams with a higher concentration of beneficial oils and a lower percentage of water. The Power of Colloidal Silver I’ve perfected our formula to include around 60% colloidal silver (replacing the water), with the rest being nourishing carrier oils and essential oils. These oils are packed with skin-loving benefits. We’ve added Baobab and Moringa oils—both organic and fair trade from South Africa—which have earned awards for their skin-healing properties, including wrinkle reduction. These oils are well-known in African beauty routines, contributing to their radiant, youthful skin. While some people shy away from tallow, it has remarkable benefits for skin health. Tallow is rich in nutrients and closely resembles the sebum produced by our skin. However, I prefer to use cocoa butter in our Colloidal Silver Cream for a smoother, lighter texture, but I also offer products that incorporate tallow for those who are interested in its advantages. (You can read more about tallow and its skin benefits here.) Colloidal Silver in All Our Products It’s not just our Colloidal Silver Cream that benefits from the power of colloidal silver. All our skincare products—including creams, aromatherapy sprays, scrubs, and hand sanitizers—replace water with colloidal silver at a concentration of over 30ppm. This ensures that the other ingredients are properly preserved and remain effective, without diluting the benefits of colloidal silver. In essence, if any of our products are traditionally made with water, you can be sure we’ve replaced it with colloidal silver. This ensures each product provides you with the maximum benefits, from skin healing to natural preservation, all without the use of harsh chemicals.
