Free of the big 3!

Nail Creation’s UV gel = free of the Big 3! These three chemicals, commonly used in nail products, are the most mentioned ‘toxic’ chemicals. All these ingredients are linked to cause some harmful effects, such as allergies, developmental problems and cancer.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): DPB, a plasticizer, is added to UV gels to prevent the product from cracks & chips. The chemical is associated with reproductive system issues and it is a proven carcinogen.

Formaldehyde: This chemical is used as a sterilizer and preservative in UV gels, and gives it that strong odor. Formaldehyde has been considered as carcinogen and can be linked to breathing problems and nausea.

Toluene: Toluene is used to help keep the UV gel smooth and even. This chemical has been linked to problems with the nervous system, causes headaches, dizziness and nausea.
