Differentiation in a crowded market has been a challenge, and addressed by Active Silver by it’s key ingredient and point of difference – Colloidal Silver in skin care. Active Silver’s unique and highly developed manufacturing process ensures the silver particles produced are the smallest they can be for maximium absorption in the liquid, gel, cream or spray format.

Their market share has grown and now we are one of the largest manufacturers in the UK. Active Silver a hugely effective treatment known to kill bacteria, fight infections, clear up skin conditions such as acne and eczema, heal wounds, eye and ear infections, and boost the immune system for humans and animals alike.

As research continues to show many strains of bacteria have become increasingly resistant to the modern-day antibiotic and with the pandemic causing us to be even more diligent with our health and wellness, the growth in demand has been huge in the last year. Such an opportunity came with a challenge due to higher prices for raw materials, customer expectation, supplier issues. At all points, they made a decision to absorb the increased supplier prices to ensure customers didn’t pay a penny more for the products they’ve come to know and trust.

With almost 3,000 orders each month and 33% returning customer rate, the current product range – from moisturisers, cooling gels, sprays and hand creams suitable for all skin conditions, with acne, eczema being at the top of the treatment list – is set for expansion next year with new products such as a body butter due to launched early 2022, and a huge wholesale business development plan.

2021 has seen a turn over at almost £850k, and staff doubling in the last 3 years. With world class technology and a laser focus on customer experience, it’s clear that nothing is going to stand in their way.
