HEMA (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is a chemical used for adhesion that’s found in most 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 but as products such as UV/LED Gel Polishes have become more accessible directly to consumers and poorly formulated gel polishes have flooded the market, the UK nail industry has seen a spike in allergic reactions which has led the demand for HEMA-Free products.
