Established In 1994
HEMA, which stands for ‘2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate’, is an important ingredient found in many gel polish formulations. It serves an important purpose in gel polishes because it helps ensure proper adhesion to the natural nail.
HEMA is responsible for the bonding process during application. It creates a strong and durable bond between the gel and the nail plate, which is vital for the longevity of the manicure, as it helps prevent lifting or peeling of the polish.
Furthermore, HEMA also contributes to the flexibility of the gel polish. It allows the gel to conform to the natural curve and movements of the nail without becoming brittle or easily damaged. This flexibility adds to the overall durability of the manicure and reduces the likelihood of cracking or chipping.
The HEMA Headlines: Addressing Recent Concerns
However, it’s no secret that HEMA has recently received a bit of bad press! We want to assure you that a low level of HEMA in professional products is completely normal. Of course, it’s worth noting that this ingredient can cause sensitisation in a small number of individuals, or in rare cases, allergic reactions.
However, as a trained nail technician, you will be well aware of the importance of using these products responsibly, following proper application and removal procedures to minimise any risks.
Providing Options in the Face of Stigma
Despite this, we recognise the importance of offering alternatives. For clients with sensitive skin or those who may feel conscious in light of recent stigmas associated with HEMA products, providing a range of options is essential in any salon or spa.
Not only does this ensure that everyone can feel comfortable and catered to, but it also promotes a more inclusive and client-focused approach.
GelEase HEMA FREE Mini’s – A Sensitivity Solution
GelEase HEMA FREE Mini Gel Polish stands as a dedicated solution for individuals with sensitivities, providing a worry-free and enjoyable gel nail experience. By intentionally eliminating HEMA from our Mini’s range, we aim to offer a thoughtful alternative for clients who may be concerned about potential allergic reactions.
Prioritising sensitivity solutions is crucial for the well-being of both salon professionals and clients.
The Freedom to Choose: GelEase’s Commitment
At GelEase, we understand the diverse preferences within the salon industry. While our main range of GelEase Gel Polish contains only a minimal level of HEMA, as low as 10%, significantly lower than many popular leading brands, we recognise the growing trend of salons opting for HEMA FREE alternatives as well as those who have made the decision to switch entirely to HEMA FREE gel products.
We are proud to support these decisions, with a range that allows salons to offer GelEase without compromising on quality or client satisfaction.
