HEMA, or 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate, is a common ingredient found in many gel nail products. While it helps create a strong bond between the gel and the natural nail, it is also one of the leading causes of contact dermatitis and allergic reactions in both clients and nail technicians. At The Nail Lab Cumming, we made the conscious decision to eliminate HEMA from our product lineup entirely.
When you are exposed to HEMA repeatedly, your body can develop a sensitivity that manifests as itching, redness, swelling around the nail bed, and in severe cases, blistering. Once this allergy develops, it is often permanent, meaning you may never be able to use traditional gel products again. By choosing HEMA-free formulas from the start, you are protecting yourself from this risk.
Our HEMA-free gel products perform just as beautifully as traditional formulas. They cure properly under LED light, offer excellent wear time of two to three weeks, and come in a stunning range of colors. The only difference is that they are formulated without the ingredient most likely to cause harm. Many clients tell us their nails actually feel stronger and healthier after switching to our products.
At The Nail Lab, we believe you should never have to choose between beautiful nails and your health. Our commitment to HEMA-free products is just one of the many ways we put your well-being first. If you have experienced reactions to gel products in the past, we invite you to visit us and experience the difference that clean, safe nail care can make.
