A lipid layer forming antibacterial composition that comprises volatile silicon oil, oily lipid, a silver source, and optionally C2-C4 aliphatic alcohol, The silver source is selected from the group consisting of silver salt (Ag+X-), colloidal silver, silver complex, silver particles, silver nanoparticles, and their mixtures. Also disclosed is a method of forming the lipid layer on the skin or a wound, and a method of manufacturing the composition. Preferred ingredients include siloxanes, in particular decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and dodecamethylchclohexasiloxane, with a defined boiling point, and a polar oily lipid, e.g. a membrane lipid such as a phospholipid, glycolipid or sphingolipid. |
