About

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

As a nickel-containing material, it is subject to EU restrictions on nickel in cosmetic products. Nickel is one of the most common causes of contact allergy, and nickel compounds are restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex II due to the high prevalence of nickel sensitization.
