Why do the gel polishes have a strong scent?
In the beauty industry, the highest standards of safety and compliance would be the regulations in the EU (European Union), which are the strictest in the world. The EU bans over 1,300 items in their cosmetics (vs. the US, which bans only 11!), including HEMA. HEMA, the most common nail allergen, is a water-based chemical that tends to minimize odors. As our products are EU-compliant and approved to sell in the European Union, they do not contain HEMA. The absence of this ingredient may result in a more noticeable scent.
