Heads Up About Copper & Skin
Now, let’s be real. Copper reacts with skin. That green or bluish color that might show up? Totally normal. It's just the metal doing its thing when it touches sweat, lotions, or soaps. Some people don’t get any discoloration. Others do.
But here’s the deal:
- It’s not harmful
- It washes off with soap and water
- And some folks even say their body absorbs the copper overnight
Still, if you’re worried about the green tint, you might wanna take it off when swimming or applying lotion. Just don’t say we didn’t warn ya — we don’t offer refunds for color changes.
