I believe your colleague is referring to "colloidal silver". It was very popular for wound healing and to treat infections around the turn of the last century. In the 1940's it was replaced with the discovery of antibiotics. 16 years ago I used it make a mouth rinse to treat periodontal disease. I bought it freshly made from another soaper who lives here in the Denver area.

Colloidal silver is experiencing a comeback currently among those looking for natural alternatives to modern medicine, especially antibiotics. Surprisingly, you can make it at home quite easily and inexpensively. All it takes is a jar of water, a 9-volt battery and a source of silver. A sterling silver knife, spoon or fork can be used.
Google YouTube for DIY Colloidal Silver. Here's one video:



You will also need to do a lot of research to learn about its benefits and things to watch out for. It does have a downside! Too much of it causes the skin to turn blue resulting in a condition referred to as "Blue Man" which is irreversible. As long as you are aware of the cautions, proceed with care.

I have never used CS in liquid soap, but essential oils like lavender, tea tree (Australian) and others are known for their antibacterial properties and I would do the research along those lines if I were to make LS like you want to make.

My advice is to find a well known product for "antibacterial or antimicrobial" liquid soap. Then present the ingredient list on the Recipe Feedback Forum for help in designing the soap you want to make.

linseed oil
I have used linseed oil to duplicate "Murphy's Oil Soap" for wood and wood floors. It is processed with methanol (wood alcohol) and, while it is fine for the paint and varnish industry, for skincare you want to use its "twin sister" flaxseed oil which is better for skin -- has a nicer scent too. :thumbup:

Ok, omg I had a patient one time that had "Blue Man". Nobody could figure out what was up with her skin. Rich little old lady. Finally she admitted to using colloidal silver for years.

SHE LOOKED WEIRD

She looked like she was oxygen deprived, yet strangely alien-like.

The doctor tried to talk her out of using it anymore. The condition she had will never go away and will only get worse. She swore it was her fountain of youth, "yet here you are in the ER for a stroke" (not cs related though).

I forgot about her until your reply LOL. Oh man so weird.

YIKES! :eek:
You are the first person in all these years I've been telling that story who has actually witnessed that condition. Poor lady! From the reading I've done I can understand why she would call it her "Fountain of Youth". Too bad she overdid it. :confused:
