Skin Safety of Bracelet Pigments

Are Silicone and Pigment Products Safe for Skin Contact?

The silicones used for bracelet moulding, such as “Pure Mould” Translucent Liquid Silicone Rubber, are formulated to be non-toxic and solvent-free. The pigments recommended for these applications are dermatologically tested, aiming to reduce the risk of irritation or adverse skin reactions. This makes them a sensible choice for creating jewellery and accessories that rest against the skin.

Best Practices for Making Safe Coloured Bracelets

• Always use silicones and pigments labelled as non-toxic and suitable for skin contact.
• Mix and cure silicone according to product guidelines to avoid incomplete reactions, which could affect safety and comfort.
• For adding vibrant colour, select dermatologically tested pigments, such as those used for handmade soaps or body-contact crafts.

Following the manufacturer’s instructions ensures your finished bracelet is comfortable for everyday wear.

When Does Skin Safety Matter Most?

Prioritising skin safety is particularly important if bracelets will be worn for extended periods, by children, or by those with sensitive skin. Opting for quality-tested products offers peace of mind for both makers and wearers.
