    Sophie, I think you should ask your supplier for safety information
    on this. 

    In the U.S., suppliers are required to give out a MSDS (Material
    Safety Data Sheet) if asked for it by the consumer. They do not
    automatically give them out, because they figure that often people
    are buying something that they already know all about, know the
    listed hazards, and have a MSDS already on file. We are required to
    have a file of these sheets if we have employees working with or
    near the materials, and to show them the information and either post
    it or have it available in a file for them to use at any time. 

    Perhaps there is safety data available from your supplier about which
    you are not aware. Since you are buying in the jewellery district, it
    seems likely that most customers there are already well versed in the
    use of the products, so the seller does not need to inform them every
    time they resupply. I would not be surprised if your country had
    similar safety information available to what we can get here in the
    U.S.
