About

Nickel Dilactate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Nickel dilactate is the nickel salt of lactic acid. Nickel compounds are classified as confirmed skin sensitizers and carcinogens under EU CLP regulation. While the lactate form may have different bioavailability than inorganic nickel salts, nickel compounds remain restricted in cosmetic products under EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II due to the high prevalence of nickel allergy and the sensitizing potential of all nickel compounds.

Known concerns

  • Nickel sensitization potential
  • Nickel allergy trigger
  • Reproductive toxicity concerns
  • EU Annex II nickel restriction
