Where can you find hypoallergenic belly rings?

Answer 1

The proper phrase is"Bio-Compatible" the term Hypo Allergenic means virtually nothing. It was a catch phrase that was meant to imply "body safe" or "nontoxic" and was developed by the make up industry.

With body jewellery bio-compatible means that it and it's material make up won't elicit and reaction from the body. If you want good quality jewellery forget looking at stores like Claire's and Ardene's. You need to find a good local body piercing studio, most studios carry a wide selection of quality body jewellery.

Don't be scared to ask where it comes from, any good studio will tell you who manufactures the jewellery they carry. They will also be glad to explain the make up of the materials and what is good and what is bad. Years of research have gone into developing and testing materials to see what materials would be safe for use in body piercing. One firm that has spent a long time developing a high quality line of jewellery from various materials is The Wildcat Collection.

There jewellery can be seen on line at www.wildcat.co.uk . The EU. (European Union) have taken great strides in ensuring that joint countries agree on quality and safety for all it's members. They started and established a Nickle Directive which is a series of regulations governing the safety of body jewellery in the EU. This directive limits the amount and type of jewellery that can be sold for use in healed piercing and used in new piercings by regulation. An excellent move that protects all clients from off shore garbage being used in new piercings .
