For thousands of years people have appreciated copper’s many natural properties. Ancient Egyptians, Romans and Aztecs used copper for health, wellness, and antimicrobial purposes[1] and it is known to possess antimicrobial properties and enhancement benefits.
- Copper provides antimicrobial protection against damaging bacteria, fungus, and microbes that can cause stains, odors, and product deterioration – more effective than stainless steel or silver containing coatings
- Essential nutrient for the human body
- Non-sensitizing, and non-irrating to the skin; not harmful to people or the environment
