When I was young there was no internet, and had no books telling how to
mix it. I mixed it about equal parts, which is way off of optimum for
guns, but not that far off from historical recipes. Of course here we
would be looking for an optimum for killing microbe pathogens, instead
of the human kind, so it is anyone's guess as to what would be optimum
for that without testing.
Here is a good site for best ratios, and history:

Gunpowder today is what is called smokeless powder. It is not the same
thing as was used back then. That stuff is now called black powder. Of
course you can always make you own, I made it many a time when I was a
child.

Can you buy gunpowder these days? As a homeopathic remedy it is
miraculous at times - get a 12x potency and you wont need a salve?
If you can get gunpowder still tho you would just add it to the
base of your choice.
