NICKEL ALLERGY
 
Nickel allergy causes eczema with skin reactions including:

When your skin is exposed to nickel, free nickel ions penetrate the outer skin layer (stratum corneum) and bind to skin protein. Sensitization (becoming allergic) to nickel occurs when the immune system treats the nickel bound in skin proteins as a threat, which happens when the accumulated exposure to nickel surpasses a critical threshold. This threshold varies greatly among individuals. Unlike most other types of allergies, contact allergies are not immediate but show delayed reactions, usually 12-48 hours after exposure. Once allergic to nickel, any exposure of nickel to your skin may result in an allergic reaction – Allergic Contact Dermatitis.


HOW NIK-L-BLOK WORKS

Nickel ions trigger allergic reactions only after having penetrated into the skin. NIK-L-BLOK is a revolutionary active skin barrier cream based on a patented chelating formula using the active ingredient DTPA to capture free nickel ions and block them from permeating the skin when in contact with metal objects. The cream’s ingredients work effectively to protect the skin both internally and externally, preventing allergic reactions such as eczema, dryness, blisters, redness and itching to develop. By using NIK-L-BLOK regularly on exposed skin areas, sensitization towards nickel will be prevented while your skin remains protected against nickel induced eczema. NIK-L-BLOK is the result of many years of dermatological research and clinical testing. Our patented formula serves as a testament to its quality and innovation.
