What makes Terrasil cream so safe?

You can feel safe and confident about using Terrasil because it is made with natural ingredients. Compare the list of ingredients in Terrasil to other brands and the differences will be very clear.

Patented Silver and Oxygen Compound

Silver oxide (silver and oxygen) is approved as a safe cosmetic ingredient internationally; listed as a 'cosmetic biocide' in the International Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients.

In addition, Aidance's patented silver oxide was extensively reviewed and approved by the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) for use in another germ-killing product (disinfectant). The EPA had to consider the silver oxide’s ocular (eye) toxicity, dermal (skin) toxicity and oral (swallowing) toxicity. The EPA gave the Aidance silver oxide its highest safety rating and qualified it as the only antimicrobial (germ killing compound) in the EPA's Food Quality Protection Act (listed as Sildate), meaning that it's ok if the silver oxide comes in contact with the food we eat. That's safe!

 

Safety Testing of the Aidance Silver Oxide

Toxicity studies conducted on the silver and oxygen in Terrasil indicated that it is not toxic to eyes, mouth or skin and can even be ingested in small amounts without harm. This means Terrasil should be safe for anyone to use on their skin and there is no worry if some of the cream gets in your eyes or mouth.

The table below summarizes the results of rigorous testing to determine the safety of the silver oxide, assuming its continuous and long-term exposure to human skin, eyes and mouth. All tests were performed at 30,000 parts-per-million, approximately five times the amount in Terrasil. Testing was performed by an independent laboratory for submission to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which resulted in the EPA's approval of the silver oxide (named Sildate) as a disinfectant for use in swimming pools.

Category IV, shown in the below table, is the EPA's highest safety rating (lowest concern for toxicity). The EPA Fact Sheet (1996) on the silver oxide states, "Adequate product chemistry, efficacy, environmental fate, toxicology and ecological effects data have been submitted and reviewed. The available data support registration of an end-use product for use as a swimming pool water disinfectant. Adverse effects to human health are not anticipated from use of this product."

Acute oral LD50 (Rat) LD50 > 5000mg/kg Category IV

Other ingredients in Terrasil

Jojoba Oil, beeswax and essential oils are listed in the International Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients and are considered very safe staples of the highest quality cosmetic products. What's more, studies have determined that ingestion of these ingredients in small amounts poses no health risk. This is nice to know, because what you put on your skin can absorb into your bloodstream.
