Hypoallergenic Products and Safety

I use both standard nail polishes (Essie, OPI etc) and HW Nail Systems® Hypogel polish.

I use HW Nail Systems® as my gel polish brand as it was formulated with allergies in mind.

HW Nail Systems® Hypogel polish is hypoallergenic, cruelty free and vegan and is the brand created by Hayley Winder, a nail technician of 23 years experience after she developed allergies to gel polish. It is a gentle system for clients with sensitivities.

HypoGEL® Gel Polishes do not contain HEMA, IBOA or HPMA* which are the three compounds found in traditional gel polishes where overexposure and incorrect application contributes to long term allergies.  

HW Nail Systems®  Builder gels are the equivalent of "BIAB", they contain no IBOA, <1% HEMA, and do contain HPMA.

HW Nail Systems®  polish is a UK brand and made in the EU to EU/UK standards and is independently tested for quality, giving you the safest possible gel polish service and is only available to qualified professionals.

Hypoallergenic doesn’t mean that it doesn’t contain something that can cause an allergy but that the likelihood of an allergic reaction is greatly reduced.  I am happy to share Safety Data Sheets of all products on request.
