Children's skin is 30% thinner than adults'-making nickel allergies more intense and faster-acting. Xazina's hypoallergenic kids' collection uses titanium, surgical steel, and 18K+ gold with lab-grown diamonds, so your little one sparkles without itching.
Why Kids React Faster
Nickel dermatitis hits children's skin hard because:
- Thinner epidermis = faster metal absorption
- More active = sweat + friction worsens reaction
- New piercings = open wounds amplify sensitivity
- Smaller pieces = higher metal-to-skin ratio
Symptoms appear in 12-24 hours: Red ears, rashy necks, weepy blisters.
