In accordance with European regulations, Green Flash contains no monomers of HEMA, nor Di-HEMA-TMHDC, two sensitizers that can cause skin allergies and are now prohibited in formulations sold to the general public!
Semi-allergies? HEMA and Di-HEMA-TMHDC are found guilty.
Some semi-permanent gels can cause allergies and you may have already done the fresh ones!
The people in charge? Two small molecules called monomers d-HEMA and Di-HEMA-TMHDC. These substances, belonging to the chemical family acrylates and methacrylates, are present in the formulation of many traditional gels. Under the effect of light (UV or LED lampsThe Commission has developed a network of polymers and to allow for the holding of nail polish.
Since September 2021, these two molecules have been under the spotlight and this type of sensitizer gel is now subject to a European regulations* which prohibits their sale to the general public.
Unfortunately, these products remain used and professional environment in the institute and above all, other monomers of (methyl)acrylate with sensitizing potential can be included in the composition of products exposing consumers - such as professionals - to risks of allergy.
Reactive molecules that penetrate the skin...
Indeed, these so-called sensitizing substances, are chemically very reactive and often cause inflammatory reactions, especially when they come into contact with the skin.
Indeed, if the gel layer is misapplied and overflows with nails, These tiny molecules are able to cross the surface layer of the skin or cuticles to reach the epidermis.
Their high chemical reactivity allows them to bind to the epidermis proteins by modifying them. The modified epidermis proteins are then recognized as alien by the immune system that will build a allergic type of inflammatory defence reaction.
Allergy someday, always allergic?
The problem is that we don't see it right away ... This awareness phenomenon often occurs at a distance from the first exposure, as long as the immune response is put in place and activated at each exposure. But, unlike irritation, awareness remains permanent as the body keeps in mind this immune response which can reproduce even in the long term when exposed to the same molecule or similar molecule.
Many studies and scientific reports** have shown the 的sensitivity effects of these molecules at the skin level (dermatitis, itching, erythema, hand desquamation) but also respiratory, such as asthma, because these small molecules are also very volatile and can be inhaled, especially if exposed daily.
Restrictions and regulations
To avoid risks, the application of this type of gel requires extreme care. This is why the new European regulation* prohibited the sale to individuals of products containing 2 of these molecules and authorized, conditionally, to care professionals in whom it recommended a series of protective measures (spiring table, filter mask and nitrile gloves).
Green Flash : the non-sensitizing and unconcessional alternative on holding
At Manucurist Health is at the heart of our priorities. The beauty of your nails is also uncompromising. Since its release in 2019, innovation Green Flash already ahead of the regulation by proposing a new generation of 12 free, non-sensitizing, monomer-free (methyl)acrylates long-lasting varnishes
To find this routine in a ready-to-use format, choose a starter kit Green Flash™.
With Green Flash The nails traumatized by the semi is over... allergies too!
And you're the one who's talking about it best!
"I'm allergic to acrylates, I didn't get any reactions! I can finally put a semi-permanent varnish"
- Nathalie B.
"Great, great! Perfect products! I was allergic to traditional semi-permanents with these no worries!"
— Laurie E.
"I tried so many semi-permanent varnish marks and all of them triggered allergies. And today I'm too happy to finally find a natural semi-permanent varnish that holds! No more allergies and nails are damaged. The deposit is so simple! I love it and look forward to all the colors!"
— Elise B.
