The Science Behind Biocompatibility in Piercing Materials
Biocompatibility refers to a material's ability to coexist with your body without causing adverse reactions. For body jewelry, that means no irritation, no toxicity, and no chance of harboring bacteria.
Why Borosilicate Passes the Test:
- Non-reactive: It doesn’t leach chemicals or absorb oils.
- Sterilizable: Can be flame-sterilized without degrading.
- Smooth surface: Prevents bacterial buildup and friction injuries.
