Skin-friendly jewelry is usually developed in materials that do not trigger allergies. Among the materials that can cause allergies are lead, cadmium and nickel. The jewelry that is skin-friendly complies with the EU's limit values for these harmful substances. Jewelery should be made of hypoallergenic materials so that it can be used every day and not risk triggering skin problems and other long-term problems.
What materials are used to make skin-friendly jewelry?
Everyone has the opportunity to use jewelry, even those with sensitive skin. It's just a matter of choosing the right material, which reduces the risk of metal allergy. Among the hypoallergenic materials are medical titanium and surgical steel , which do not oxidize and do not become discolored. In order to protect the ear, the most important thing is to think about what material it is that sticks through the skin in the earlobe. Therefore, the pin on earrings should always consist of medical titanium or medical plastic. With us, you can choose from several models that are 100% titanium or a category where we have combined surgical steel on the front of the earring and the pin in titanium.
Nickel-free materials
In order for jewelery to be skin-friendly, it should not contain excessive amounts of nickel, as this can trigger a contact allergy. Nickel allergy can cause swelling, red and itchy rashes, blisters or bumps and dry and cracked skin. The allergy usually develops when nickel has come into contact with the skin for longer periods of time. Jewelry is something we usually wear close to the skin, often even in the skin, such as earrings and piercing jewelry. Therefore, it is important that the materials used in jewelry do not contain nickel.
Medical titanium
Medical titanium used in jewelry is often developed in consultation with dermatologists. It is an alloy of titanium and other types of metals and is also used in surgical and medical products. Medical titanium is biocompatible, strong and light as a material and contains low levels of the substances that cause allergies. Therefore, it is popular for use in implants such as knee and hip prostheses as well as dental implants. Thanks to the fact that it holds the color for a long time and also has a long service life, the material is well suited for skin-friendly and stylish jewellery.
