Hi Kathy,
Quantity depends on need, and this is just my own intuitive take on things. If I'm just trying to keep a substance stable (impervious to contamination), The CS might be a quarter of the mix. Generally, If I'm also wanting the CS to be an active ingredient in the mix, to kill pathogens in or on me, it'll be more like 75%. I generate my own CS with a Silver Puppy and go through it fairly quickly, so I don't worry about the brown bottle for the CS storage. I do keep my eye drops in brown glass bottles.
Be well,
Léna

Thank you Lena for your information. Regarding the lotions etc. how much CS do you use .....oz. CS to oz. lotions or what ever your ratio might be. I like this idea......on misting the produce, do you use a brown bottle for the CS.. or does it matter......

Hi Gayla,
I use CS in all of my potions and lotions for that reason. Also, I make nasal mists, eye drops, etc with it, knowing that it will not contaminate easily and that it's cheap enough to replace once a month. After deciding not to get some expensive plastic 'silver-impregnated' storage boxes, I rinse berries, produce, etc. with CS, which prolongues shelf life in the fridge. Anything I put in a plastic bag for refrigerating , I mist in a bit of CS, with the same result. BTW, I sprayed CS on the outside of some terracotta flower pots that were beginning to get the usual mold and they've stayed clear ever since. Love this stuff!

Be well,
Léna

Has anyone used CS for a preservative in lotions or creams? I dislike the thought of using chemical preservative on my skin. TIA!
