Why Does Copper Patina?
pa·ti·na (/pəˈtēnə/) noun: a light film on the surface of copper or similar metals, produced by oxidation. Tarnishing (a.k.a patina) is natural with all copper, and does not indicate a used or damaged product. Copper is also a soft metal, which can lead to scratching or scuffing of your CopperTouch. Tarnishing, scratching and scuffing do not affect the antimicrobial properties of CopperTouch. If your CopperTouch looks dull or aged, we've included a soft polishing cloth and some natural polishing recipes with your purchase to restore its brightest copper shine!
