🟢 Why Does Copper Turn Skin Green?
Many people ask: “Is it fake if my wrist turns green?” Answer: No, it proves it is REAL Copper.
- The Chemistry: Copper reacts with the acidity (pH) of your sweat and oxygen to create Copper Carbonate (which is green).
- Absorption: This indicates that tiny amounts of copper are being absorbed by your body, which is exactly what you want for the anti-inflammatory benefits!
- Solution: The mark washes off easily with soap. To stop it, you can coat the inner side with clear nail polish.
