The R.E.M SPRING® VS similar products
Many companies specializing in cosmetic and shaving related products use the term "Hypoallergenic" as a selling point, leading people to believe that it provides superior results and will not cause skin irritations. However, it is important to note that the term hypoallergenic, according to the Food and Drug Administration, has very little meaning. Furthermore, there is no FDA or industry regulation regarding using the term, so each company can essentially use it as they wish.¹
The term hypoallergenic, which was first used during a 1953 cosmetic campaign, is merely a claim that many companies use in an effort to sell more products, especially to those prone to sensitive skin.¹
The R.E.M SPRING® , on the other hand, is suitable for all skin sensitivity levels, as it goes through a process referred to as “Passivation,” which by definition is the process of making something inactive or less reactive, as well as protecting it against contamination, by coating or surfacing.²
More specifically, passivation is the removal of exogenous or iron compounds from the surface of stainless steel. The process removes “free iron” from the stainless steel, thus protecting the R.E.M SPRING® from corrosion, which can lead to skin irritations.²
The R.E.M SPRING® is stainless steel.
Having a stainless steel tool, like the R.E.M SPRING®, is important because other coils that are not stainless steel will rust that may lead to skin irritations. In fact, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, people can experience allergic contact rashes as a result from particular substances. For example, nickel, which is found in many metal products, can create an allergic reaction called “Nickel Dermatitis,” where the person will experience an itchy rash that can last for days. Being that The R.E.M SPRING™ is made of stainless steel that has been through passivation, it has been designed so that it will not cause allergic reactions, nor will it rust.³
Since the R.E.M SPRING® is stainless steel it will last for years, while the competitor’s “hair-removal coils” typically last only a few months. The other products will quickly become corroded.
The R.E.M SPRING® is completely made of stainless steel both coil and handles. Providing a durable and safe product that can be thoroughly sanitized. The R.E.M SPRING® can easily be stored and cleaned with alcohol to be sterilized. While other similar products are made of a combination of steel and plastic, that cannot be sterilized. Causing the coil to catch bacteria that can lead to skin irritation.⁴
