Thank you for your continued patronage.
This time, we will talk about materials that cause metal allergies and materials that are less likely to cause symptoms!
[Cause of symptoms]
First, why do metal allergies occur? Metals have the property of dissolving when they come into contact with sweat, etc. The dissolved metal ionizes and binds to proteins in the body, causing metal allergy symptoms such as itching and rashes.
It is difficult to say which materials are most likely to cause allergies as this varies from person to person, but it can be said that people who sweat easily are more likely to develop metal allergies.
There are a great number of materials available for accessories, so this time we will introduce three carefully selected materials.
[Materials that people with metal allergies should avoid]
·nickel
·chromium
·copper
These are highly likely to cause symptoms, so it is best to avoid them if you have metal allergies.
[Material that is less likely to cause metal allergies]
・Surgical stainless steel
·titanium
·platinum
In particular, surgical stainless steel, known as 316L, is said to be suitable for people with metal allergies and less likely to cause symptoms.
Titanium and platinum are also materials that are less likely to cause the disease, depending on the content.
VALEGIO also carries products made from 316L surgical stainless steel and titanium, so if you have metal allergies, we hope you will choose products based on the material!
Enjoy your accessory life!
