I am allergic/hypersensitive to certain metals, can I still wear your jewelry?

Bonnie Adornment |
Let's face it, some of us are a bit more sensitive to certain metals than others, I, myself, have never been able to wear any of those cute earrings you might find in accessory shops. It is because of this that many of the metal findings, from necklaces to bracelets and of course earrings, are of hypoallergenic materials, such as sterling silver, surgical steel, stainless steel and gold or gold-filled.

Unlike other jewelry materials, titanium does not need other alloys to harden the material. Many alloys create negative reactions with our body chemistry. Titanium can be safely and comfortably worn by everybody.

Diaper rash is caused by excess moisture, chemical irritants, food allergies, bacteria from stool and urine, fungus, and friction from diapers and clothing. The most common cause is leaving a diaper on for too long. If a diaper is left on too long, chemicals form in the wet or soiled diaper irritating the skin, making it vulnerable to infection. The rash usually appears as redness or bumps on skin surfaces in direct contact with a wet or soiled diaper.

JOHNSON'S® Canada
Most babies get diaper rash at least once in the first 3 years. Babies who are 6 to 10 months old, teething, starting solid food or taking antibiotics are especially vulnerable. Trapped moisture and friction from movement in a wet or dirty diaper can irritate the skin, causing redness and inflammation in the diaper area. Once the skin is damaged, your child's urine and feces can cause further irritation. Change your baby's diapers as soon as they are soiled.

Diaper Rash:Symptoms, Causes, Prevention & Treatment by Baby...
Skin wetness is the common denominator underlying the various causes of diaper rash. Urinary wetness increases skin friction, raises the skin pH, makes the skin less cohesive, and makes it more permeable. These effects combine to intensify the action of stool enzymes or other irritants that then inflame the skin. In all the above diaper rashes, the outermost layer of skin has been damaged.

What causes the poison oak rash, poison ivy rash and sumac rash?

Poison Ivy Rash, Poison Ivy Treatment
It all boils down to the skin’s reaction to a nasty little oil called urushiol—say “ooh-roo-she-all”. Urushiol is actually a toxic, resinous type substance that is found in all parts of the plants of poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac. When urushiol gets on the skin it binds with the skin within 10-20 minutes. At that point the urushiol becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get off the skin with soap and water.

The Sunphire is very powerful and unlike anything you have ever experienced. Start out wearing it for just a few hours and see how you feel. If desired, most individuals will be able to wear it all day, every day from the start. However, for some the initial experience may be somewhat intense, so if needed, you can start slowly and gradually step up a few more hours every 2-3 days according to your comfort level.
