NSI Statement

In response to the feature on BBC Breakfast News (14/04/23) regarding the rise in allergies to gel nail products, we want to put your mind at ease if you use NSI products.
If you would like to learn more about HEMA, please read the full article 'Everything you need to know about HEMA on our blog.

NSI have been at the forefront of nail product research and development since the 1950’s and have supplied UK professional since 1992. Our main priority has always been to manufacture high quality, safe products for the nail technician and their client. NSI products are carefully researched, developed and manufactured by our own chemists in our own facility in the USA and distributed throughout the EU.

HEMA (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is a chemical used for adhesion that’s found in the majority of nail enhancement products, it’s also used in treatments by dentists and orthopaedic surgeons. For years HEMA has been used safely by professionals in these industries and while there will always be some people who are more prone to allergies, the trend for Gel Nail products has led to an influx of poorly formulated gel polish brands flooding the market. These products contain levels of HEMA that are higher than is considered safe, this along with an increase of home users who haven’t been educated in the proper, safe use of nail products has contributed to the spike we’re seeing.

For the nail technicians who use NSI we believe we’re more than just your supplier. We have duty of care to you and your business to make sure when you invest in our products you can trust that they have been throughly tested and meet the highest standards of safety. Our light cured products are all tested to work alongside the NSI lamps to ensure the product is fully cured. All our products are batch controlled and safety data sheets and ingredients lists are available on our website.
