nickel-free
Lacking metallic allergen
Nickel-free describes products, especially jewelry and metal accessories, that contain no nickel—a common cause of allergic skin reactions.
The term appears on earrings, watchbands, belt buckles, and eyeglass frames marketed to people with nickel sensitivity: I can only wear nickel-free earrings.
