SILVER

Safety grade: C**

Silver is a precious metal that has been used for centuries in various applications. In cosmetics, it's typically used in very small amounts, either as a pure metal or in specially processed forms to provide color and beneficial properties to skincare products.

Silver is used in cosmetics to provide a shimmering color effect, help reduce odor, and condition the skin with its antimicrobial and soothing properties.
