Active against bacteria: silver ions
“Here’s how the new, highly effective technology works: Odour-producing bacteria are regarded as one of the main factors causing body and especially foot odour, and that’s where Hansaplast Silver Active goes to work. Odour is imminent as soon as fresh sweat, which is odourless at first, is decomposed by bacteria.
„Keeping foot odour
at bay means getting
rid of the bacteria
that produce it.“
Silver Active prevents this from happening. It does so by means of silver technology. The active antibacterial complex with silver ions contained in this latest generation deodorant are effective even in small concentration against bacteria: they destroy the bacteria’s cell membranes, affect their metabolisms, and influence the DNA’s genetic information,
so the bacteria are reduced and further growth prevented. Unpleasant foot odour is thus prevented from occurring. It doesn’t irritate skin as it contains no alcohol and is dermatologically tested.”
