Strange - Silver neck chain turning black

Post by EggBert »

Ive been using these product for nearly 2 weeks. And the silver chain I wear around my neck turns black if i dont take it off before bed!
... Im not concerend with it, Id happliy give up my chain for good skin... just more curious as to why it happens :) The chain cleans off easily if i soak it in "tarn-off" for a few mins.

Dont get me wrong, im not complaining here... getting these products was one of the best decisions ive made.

I m not a chemist but I think it is the sulfur in the ointment doing this.

sulfur

It's the sulfur vapors from the cream - I make jewelry and oxidize my silver with something called "liver of sulfur" to turn it black to highlight details. (Smells pretty similar, too, but much stronger.) You can polish it off, it's just a surface oxide.
