  • Health Effects: The most common harmful health effect of nickel in humans is an allergic reaction. This usually manifests as a skin rash, although some people experience asthma attacks. Long term inhahation of nickel causes chronic bronchitis and reduced lung function, as well as damage to the naval cavity. Ingestion of excess nickel results in damage to the stomach, blood, liver, kidneys, and immune system, as well as having adverse effects on reproduction and development.

  • Toxicity Summary: Nickel is known to substitute for other essential elements in certain enzmes, such as calcineurin. It is genotoxic, and some nickel compounds have been shown to promote cell proliferation. Nickel has a high affinity for chromatin proteins, particularly histones and protamines. The complexing of nickel ions with heterochromatin results in a number of alterations including condensation, DNA hypermethylation, gene silencing, and inhibition of histone acetylation, which have been shown to disturb gene expression. Nickel has also been shown to alter several transcription factors, including hypoxia-inducible transcription factor, activating transcription factor, and NF-KB transcription factor. There is also evidence that nickel ions inhibit DNA repair, either by directly inhibiting DNA repair enzymes or competing with zinc ions for binding to zinc-finger DNA binding proteins, resulting in structural changes in DNA that prevent repair enzymes from binding. Nickel ions can also complex with a number of cellular ligands including amino acids, peptides, and proteins resulting in the generation of oxygen radicals, which induce base damage, DNA strand breaks, and DNA protein crosslinks.

Verification checklist

  1. Resolve Portuguese, INCI and CAS identity with the ANVISA crosswalk.
  2. Check the consolidated prohibited list including RDC 1.030/2026 changes.
  3. Apply RDC 1.029/2026 restrictions and the still-effective complementary rules.
  4. Verify Mercosur incorporation, regularisation, labelling and transition periods.

Verification workflow and record completeness

Before using this result in a compliance decision

  1. Confirm that “Dihidróxido de níquel” and every CAS/EC identifier refer to the material in your supplier specification.
  2. Resolve Portuguese, INCI and CAS identity with the ANVISA crosswalk.
  3. Check the consolidated prohibited list including RDC 1.030/2026 changes.
  4. Apply RDC 1.029/2026 restrictions and the still-effective complementary rules.
  5. Verify Mercosur incorporation, regularisation, labelling and transition periods.
  6. Document the source version and recheck the regulator before manufacture, notification or market placement.

Questions this page answers

This official record identifies the substance as prohibited for cosmetic use in the stated market scope. Do not rely on a formulation containing this identity until the cited source, effective date and exact substance match have been verified.

A prohibition entry may contain no separate condition text because the regulatory outcome is the prohibition itself. RDC 1.030/2026 amends rather than replaces the prohibited baseline, and the second restricted-list revision was still under consultation in July 2026.

The record cites RDC 529/2021 consolidated annex, entry 1006 (through RDC 1.030/2026), source version RDC 529/2021 consolidated through RDC 1.030/2026. Open the official source.

No. CAS helps resolve identity, but jurisdictions can classify the same substance differently and can apply different product scopes, limits, warnings and transition dates.
