CNC’s gel polish is free of the toxic trio:
These three chemicals, commonly used in nail products, were first identified as toxic. The following three chemicals could cause some harmful long-term health effects to you or your customer.
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
This ingredient is commonly used in nail polish and cosmetic. It is a plasticizer that is used to prevent the polish from chips and cracks. Plasticizers have been proven to be carcinogenic. The substance is also associated with liver, kidney and reproductive system problems.
Formaldehyde
This ingredient is used as a preservative in UV gel. This chemical gives UV gels that strong odor and can cause allergic reactions, breathing problems and nausea. Formaldehyde is a proven carcinogen.
Toluene
This chemical is used to help suspend the color and to form a smooth finish. Toluene has not been classified as a carcinogenic, but it has been proven its harmful for the central nervous system. Causes fatigue, dizziness and nausea!
That’s why we don’t use the toxic trio in our UV Gels
We are also 5-free:
Bingo! The toxic trio is gone! What’s next? 5-free! In 5-free UV nail products 2 more toxic harmful chemicals are excluded.
Formaldehyde resin
This chemical adds gloss and hardness to nail products. It also helps the UV gel better adhere to the nail. Formaldehyde Resin is a well-known skin allergen and has been proven to cause dermatitis.
Camphor
This ingredient is used to add more shine and elasticity to UV gels. Exposure to high concentrations of Camphor can cause skin irritations, headaches, dizziness or nausea.
15-free nail UV gel
Since 5-free UV gels became popular, several more harmful ingredients were added to the 5-free list. 10 to be precise. We are proud to say that all our UV gels are 15-free!
Free of DBP, Formaldehyde, toluene, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor and the 10 chemicals below:
Acetone
toxic in nature. A small amount of acetone may cause skin or eye irritation, headache, dizziness or nausea. Exposure to high concentrations can cause loss consciousness, and may even be fatal.
Bisphenol A
This chemical may cause several allergic skin reactions or irritate the eyes or airways. It even may affect the reproductive system.
Ethyl Tosylamide
Is a plasticizer that helps in increasing adhesion and the durability of UV gels. May cause irritations to the skin/eyes or dysfunctions at the reproductive level. Ethyl Tosylamide is banned from personal care products (including UV gels) in Europe, because of its antibiotic properties and resistance.
Glycol Ether
Exposure to Glycol Ether may cause irritations to the airways, headaches, nausea, temporary clouding of the cornea or skin irritations. It can even be harmful for unborn babies during pregnancy.
Nonylphenol ethoxylate
This chemical can cause serious eye injuries and skin irritations. Exposure to Nonylphenol ethoxylate can cause hormonal problems.
Parabens
Parabens are used to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold in cosmetic products. Parabens have been associated with the increased risk of hormonal problems and allergic reactions. All our UV gels are paraben free!
Styrene
Styrene is toxic in nature. Styrene may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and irritations to the airways. Styrene have been associated with skin irritations.
Sulfates
Sulfates can be oxidized into sulphuric acid, a corrosive substance. Exposure to high concentrations of sulfates can cause lung problems or dermatitis.
Triphenyl Fosfate (TPHP
Is a plasticizer that is used to improve the flexibility and lifetime of UV gels. The exposure to TPHP has been associated with endocrine impacts and reproductive toxicity.
Xylene
A solvent that is used to thin out UV gels – or to prevent that the product is getting gloppy. Xylene causes the commonly strong odor of nail products. Xylene is a well-known allergen that may cause eye-and skin irritations, headaches, dizziness and nausea.
