HEMA and di-HEMA in Nails product
HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and di-HEMA (di-HEMA trimethylhexyl dicarbamate) are both monomers commonly used in the formulation of gel polishes and other nail products. While they share similarities, there are notable differences between HEMA and di-HEMA.
In the beauty industry, it is extremely important to pay attention to cosmetic ingredients. Regardless of whether you deal with styling nails professionally or you do them only on yourself, you have certainly heard about the concept of hema and di-hema.
Hydroxyethylmethacrylate, or HEMA for short, is a chemical compound from the group of acrylates. It is a derivative of acrylic acid which transforms from a monomer into a polymer when reacted with light. This chemical compound in UV gel polishes and UV gels has a binding function, makes the gel polish hard and resistant to mechanical damage when exposed to light. In addition to the nail industry, hema is also used, for example, in dentistry and in the optical industry. Due to the fact that haemas and di-haemas are classified as heptanes, which means that their molecular weight is low, they can penetrate the skin’s hyrdolipid barrier when in contact with the skin. As a result, it can lead to irritation, water bubbles and other allergic reactions. However, is the risk of the above-mentioned symptoms really high, and are hema and di-hema harmful to health?
Hema is a legal and safe substance, but products that contain any of these ingredients are intended only for professional use and must have such markings. Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 of the European Parliament covers this topic more extensively. Hema and di-hema become dangerous to health and skin when the procedure is not performed to the appropriate standard. This happens when a too thick layer of gel polish is not properly cured, or the product does not polymerize sufficiently due to a too weak UV / LED lamp or one that no longer works at its full power.
Facing to them, a new one Hema free UV gel polishes have been created for people whose sensitive and allergy-prone skin is prone to allergies. If you have been allergic to classic hybrids so far, you can confidently reach for gel polishes developed without the use of hema and di-hema. The use of hema free gel polishes significantly minimizes the risk of undesirable effects. In addition, hema free gel polishes do not circulate in any way in terms of quality from classic hybrids.
