As you know, Green Flash complies with European regulations and excludes all controversial molecules from its formula.
This is particularly true for (meth)acrylate monomers, which include the molecules known as HEMA and Di-HEMA-TMHDC, banned from sale to consumers since September 2021 due to their sensitising potential.
You may have missed it, but under the new European regulations*, these two substances, found in many gel polishes, can no longer be sold to consumers and may only be used by professionals in salons.
The reason? Their sensitising potential.
What are the risks?
When these very small, reactive molecules come into contact with the skin, they can penetrate the epidermis and cause severe allergic and inflammatory skin reactions. That’s why only beauty professionals are now authorised to use them.
The catch is that other molecules of the same type, with the same sensitising potential, are still authorised and used in the formulas of many gel polishes.
To avoid taking any risks, Manucurist simply developed its Green Flash LED polish free of (meth)acrylate monomers.
Green Flash: free of (meth)acrylate monomers, non-sensitising, and 100% compliant with regulations.
and now stands out as an exception in the gel polish market.
When it launched in 2019, Green Flash was already two years ahead of the regulations. Up to 84% bio-sourced and formulated without substances classified as endocrine disruptors, the Green Flash range is an alternative to conventional gel polish in terms of its formula, without compromising on wear time or shine. In just 3 quick and easy steps, your manicure stays flawless for up to 10 days, then comes off gently and easily with a mild acetone-free remover. To try the complete routine at home, you can start with a Green Flash™ gel polish kit.
Some have already tried it and given it their seal of approval:
A true revolution. Application is very easy, as is removal, and the wear time is excellent. I'm completely won over. I couldn't use traditional gel polish due to many allergies, and regular polishes didn't last. I recommend 100%. Amal S.
Allergic to one of the main molecules in regular polishes, I couldn't paint my nails anymore. I feel alive again!! Inès C.
Since I am allergic to classic gel polishes, I found my happy place with these polishes! No more allergies and the same beautiful finish. Sandy V.
