Clinical Study
#1: completed in June, 1998
-
Conducted by Vensure Team
Inc.
-
Respondent Profile:
41 females suffering from jewelry rash
-
Results: The JewelRx
original formula was tested against a variety of remedies that
respondents had been using to treat their jewelry rash
condition. JewelRx was preferred to respondents' prior
treatments but they suggested a more cosmetic "feel" to improve
the product. Based on these findings, JewelRx was reformulated
and tested in Study #2.
Clinical Study
#2: completed in August, 2002
-
Conducted by Camomile
Laboratories Inc.
-
Respondent Profile:
19 females suffering from jewelry rash
-
Results: 83% of
JewelRx triers said that JewelRx met their expectations and that
it allowed them to wear their jewelry again. 67% said they will
continue to use JewelRx and repurchase it when they run out of
product.
Consumer Research
Study #3, completed in June, 1994
-
Conducted by Bruskin/Goldring
Research
-
Respondent Profile:
1000 men and women selected to represent the general population

Findings: over 30% of
women suffer some irritation that they attribute to the wearing
of jewelry, including gold, gold alloys, other precious metals
and costume jewelry. Most irritating are earrings, wrist
watches, rings and necklaces, in that order. About half of all
women sufferers believe their condition is either severe or
moderately so. Most women sufferers [59%] believe there is no
effective treatment available for jewelry rash except to refrain
from wearing the offending jewelry

Breaks down organic debris on
the jewelry in the links of the
chain, etc. so it falls away and
is unavailable to bacteria and
fungus as a food source. The
bacteria and fungus and their
waste can be the source of much
irritation. This works at the
microscopic level. You could
not use soap and a brush to wash
away this debris, because it is
too small. The organic matter
is converted to water and sodium
chloride by the chlorine
dioxide.
