In recent months, there’s been growing concern about the safety of gel polish products — especially after certain ingredients like HEMA (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate) were flagged and banned for consumer use in the UK and EU.
These concerns are valid. When improperly cured or misused, some UV gel formulas can cause allergic reactions, irritation, and long-term skin sensitivity.
But here’s the good news: Haute Mes semi-cured nail stickers are HEMA-free, dermatologically safe, and EU REACH-compliant.
What We Avoid:
❌ No HEMA
❌ No HPMA
❌ No Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
❌ No Formaldehyde
❌ No Toluene
What We Use Instead:
✅ 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, polymer with ethyl-2-propenoate — a safe, EU-listed acrylic polymer
✅ Non-toxic PET film
✅ Adhesive with no skin-irritating monomers
✅ No liquid soak-off or aggressive removers required
Our Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) confirms there are no restricted substances, and our ingredients are not classified as hazardous by the EU Environmental Protection Agency.
Safe. Strong. Stylish. That’s Haute Mes 💅
