A HEMA-free formula replaces HEMA with alternative monomers that deliver the same gel performance — adhesion, shine, and wear — without exposing sensitive clients to the most common allergen in professional nail products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:11px 0; font-size:1em; font-weight:500; line-height:1.5;\"\u003eWho should use HEMA-free gel products?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding:0 0 12px; margin:0; font-size:1em; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eGLOSS HEMA-free products are recommended for clients who have experienced redness, itching, swelling, or skin reactions from gel manicures; clients with a known HEMA sensitivity or allergy; and clients with generally sensitive skin who want to reduce their exposure to common allergens. Always do a patch test if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:11px 0; font-size:1em; font-weight:500; line-height:1.5;\"\u003eDoes the HEMA-free formula perform the same as standard GLOSS Rubber Base?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding:0 0 12px; margin:0; font-size:1em; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eYes. GLOSS HEMA-free Base and Top are formulated to meet the same professional standards as the standard GLOSS line — strong adhesion, long wear, and high gloss. The performance difference for most clients is negligible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:11px 0; font-size:1em; font-weight:500; line-height:1.5;\"\u003eDo I need to use both the HEMA-free base AND the HEMA-free top coat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding:0 0 12px; margin:0; font-size:1em; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eFor a fully HEMA-free service, yes. Using only one HEMA-free product while applying a standard product for the other step may still expose sensitive clients to HEMA. For complete protection, use the HEMA-free base and HEMA-free top coat together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:11px 0; font-size:1em; font-weight:500; line-height:1.5;\"\u003eCan I use GLOSS HEMA-free base with regular GLOSS gel polish?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding:0 0 12px; margin:0; font-size:1em; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eFor truly allergy-safe manicures, every layer should be HEMA-free. However, if a client is sensitive primarily to the base coat contact, switching the base may help. Consult with your client and proceed cautiously for first-time use.
