What else are some of the ingredients in this product used for if used in medicine.
How Does Silver Work?
Argentum (silver) and its compounds have astringent (possibly caustic) and antiseptic (mainly denaturation of protein) effects. When used in proper concentrations and in suitable medical forms, it promotes healing of wounds and ulcers.

How Does Zeolite Work?
Zeolites are crystalline silicates of alkalic metals. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the spatial arrangement of the atoms forms channels and cavities of constant dimensions. Solid, liquid and gaseous state substances may be trapped in these channels. In medicine, this is used as a carrier of active agents. Silver bound to zeolite (silver zeolite) has proven antimicrobial effects on microorganisms. Zeolite supports these effects.

How Does Zinc Oxide Work?
Zinc oxide (zinc oxide, zinc blossom) is an amorphous, gentle, white, odor-free powder. It is obtained from natural, zinc material. The effects are: cooling, slightly astringent and slightly antiseptic. Zinc oxide is part of the powders, suspensions, liquid powders and soft paste categories, which are frequently used in children’s dermatology. Zinc oxide has soothing effects and significantly fosters skin’s rejuvenation. Zinc products also have a favorable impact on the healing process.
