Nickel tested

CERTIFICATE NICKEL TESTED

In dermocosmetics, Nickel is prohibited by law as an ingredient, however, traces of Nickel may be present in any product as a result of manufacturing processes.

Since it is not possible to eliminate Nickel 100%, according to the law it is forbidden to declare a cosmetic such as “Without Nickel” or “Nickel Free”, but it is only possible to use the word “Nickel Tested” when the products have been tested on allergic subjects Nickel without causing allergic reactions. By itself this test does not represent the guarantee that the product contains less traces of nickel than another that does not indicate the indication, just as it is not correct to think that if a company does not report this indication on the package, it has not performed a verification of the presence of nickel in the product, also in virtue of the fact that according to the law every cosmetic product on the market must contain a quantity of Nickel, if present, below a minimum level that is harmless to each subject, which according to the literature scientific level is 1 ppm (part per million, equivalent to 1 mg per kg of product).
