How a Unique Skin Cream Saved the Costume Jewelry Industry

NickelBlock is a new, unique skin cream that blocks allergic reactions to the nickel in costume jewelry. NickelBlock is applied directly to the skin where it enhances the normal barrier function of the skin. NickelBlock will also retard the development of allergic reactions to other skin irritants as well.

Sonoma, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2007 -- NickelBlock Skin Cream, Inc. has developed a skin cream that retards the development of skin allergies to nickel containing jewelry. This is a big problem in the costume jewelry industry where most products contain a high concentration of nickel and other "filler" metals. Nickel related skin allergies affect 20 to 30% of women in the US predominantly in the age range of 15 to 30 years.

NickelBlock ™ is applied before bed. During the night, this unique skin formulation rebuilds/enhances the barrier function of the skin. It works quite quickly. The barrier layer of the skin protects against dehydration and the introduction of "foreign" molecules, such as nickel, into the deeper dermal layers of the skin. Once a foreign molecule reaches the deeper, dermal layers of the skin it can initiate an immune reaction resulting in an inflammatory response.

NickelBlock™ is not a drug, a cosmetic or an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a natural blend of vitamins, amino acids and lipids that act together to specifically enhance the barrier function of normal skin. As such, it can be used to block contact hypersensitivity reactions to many different allergens and irritants.

NickelBlock™ is the only product on the market that can enhance the natural barrier function of the skin. It is not a "skin cream or moisturizer". It is much, much more and only needs to be applied once a week or so.
