What is “Sweat Barrier”?

Have you ever…
always feeling itchy when wearing your piercings?
see your skin turn red due to your necklace?
annoyed and impatient because of rings and watches you wear?
want to enjoy being fashion-conscious with your favorite accessories without paying attention to materials?
“Sweat Barrier” will make your wishes come true!
Why did we developed it?
KAGEYAMA Hitoshi, one of Japan’s leading developers of industrial coatings, has been developing coating agents for accessories for his wife, who suffers from nickel (metal) allergies, along with his main work. In 2020, he succeeded in developing Sweat Barrier, an anti-allergy fluorine coating agent.
Thus, he decided to bring Sweat Barrier to people suffering from nickel (metal) allergies* around the world.
(*According to Wikipedia, 17.1% of women and 3% of men suffer from nickel (metal) allergies.)
What have we achieved so far?
We founded Suffix Co., Ltd. to bring Sweat Barrier to all people suffering from nickel (metal) allergies.To enhance the safety of the manufacturing environment, we set up our base in Nagano Prefecture, one of the cleanest places in Japan, and as soon as we started selling our products in the Japanese EC market, they gained overwhelming support on Amazon Japan and Rakuten Market.
What is our mission?
We will fill the earth with smiles and contribute to the realization of world peace by supplying the world with a coating agent for accessories that prevents nickel (metal) allergies by allowing users to apply it themselves.

Customer’s Voices
Here’s how “Sweat Barrier” is tested by public institution:
The cause of metal allergies is sweat-induced metal leaching. By applying the “Sweat Barrier” to accessories, the amount of nickel and other metal ions eluted can be significantly reduced. This effect has been confirmed by a third-party organization using the European legalized test method (EN1811).
