More about NickelBlock™
NickelBlock™ is the product that the costume jewelry industry always wanted but couldn’t find. It is a completely natural product that is applied sparingly to selected areas of the body, such as the wrist, neck, and ears. One application could last for a week or many weeks depending on the health of a person’s skin. Over time, as these selected areas of the skin become more resistant to water loss and less permeable to potential skin irritants, fewer and fewer NickelBlock™ applications will be needed. Of course, this depends on other factors outside our control, such as psychological stress, diet and aging.
NickelBlock™ is not a drug, a cosmetic or an anti-inflammatory agent. It is an ALL natural combination of highly pure lipids, amino acids and vitamins dissolved in a common emolument base. Further, these natural ingredients exist in a very specific ratio to one another. The skin is a very complicated organ which requires a great deal of care and feeding.
NickelBlock™ was designed to rebuild the barrier function of “normal” skin. A healthy barrier function resists contact hypersensitivity reactions in general because it literally prevents or retards the ability of contact allergens, such as nickel, to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, the dermis. It’s that simple…and that complicated.
NickelBlock™ is NOT a skin cream. Skin creams, in general, are sold to make the skin more moist and attractive. These skin creams are temporary emoluments that do NOT affect the integrity of the barrier function of the skin. They will not block contact hypersensitivity reactions to nickel or other skin irritants. Try them if you don’t believe us.
NickelBlock™ was designed to be used on normal skin. It is not a treatment for inflammatory based skin diseases.
