"Chromates are among the most important contact allergens. They can be found in textiles, (...) and leather goods," says Prof. Dr. med. Torsten Zuberbier, head of the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF). "The allergy-causing effect of chromates on contact with the skin has long been known. Unfortunately, finding leather shoes tanned without chromium is still often a problem for those affected. Therefore, shoes made without chromium are a valuable contribution to improving the quality of life of people with contact allergies." Source: ECARF, 2012

Martin Natur jewelry parts are 100% nickel-free
Martin Natur makes every effort to avoid using allergy-causing materials in production. Nickel is a metal and is found in jewelry, buttons, eyelets and fasteners, among other things. Nickel in high concentrations irritates the skin of almost everyone. Nickel allergy is one of the most common allergies in Germany. Martin Natur has therefore decided against using materials and accessories that contain nickel.
