At Roxi, the safety of you and your customers is our number one priority. That's why all products across our range are completely free from HEMA, DI-HEMA HPMA, TPO, and IBOA. From the onset of our range development, we have worked closely with our manufacturer to ensure that our gel products have optimized consistency and pigmentation, allowing you to effortlessly create stunning designs without some of the traditional chemicals found in nail product formulations.
What is HEMA?
HEMA is a monomer included to boost the hardening and adhesion of gel nail products. Its inclusion in traditional formulations has set a standard across the industry, ensuring longevity and strong adhesion within gel products. However, with modern technology and information, we can produce a range without this potentially harmful chemical (when used in excess, as some brands have done).
As with all products, to ensure a fantastic end result and achieve maximum longevity, it's key to go through thorough preparation. Please click here to read our preparation guide across all our gel systems.
Is the Application Process for HEMA-Free Products Different?
No, the application of all our products remains the same. We recommend curing all our products for 60 seconds and following our complete preparation guide to ensure each set of nails is flawless. The entire collection is compatible with our Roxi Pro lamp, and the formulas of each product have been tested specifically in our manufacturer's biochemical lab to ensure each product cures effectively, providing optimal results for you and your customers. Our lamp also has a low heat mode to enable a safer and more enjoyable experience for customers who may be susceptible to heat spikes during the curing process.
Is the Removal of HEMA-Free Products Different?
No, the removal process is the same soak-off process as with traditional gel products. Despite the longevity of our gel products, you'll find that the removal is quick and easy.
