Frequently Asked Questions About HEMA-Free BIABs Read more What is HEMA? HEMA is an acronym for Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate or 2-hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, the chemical name for an acrylic monomer used to make different types of polymers. HEMA can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some people with skin contact and improper curing, especially when exposed to large amounts. How much HEMA should be in a gel bottle? The suggested limit for nail products is to include up to 30%-35% of HEMA. The GelBottle Inc nail products have less than 20% HEMA, which is significantly lower than the standard. The GelBottle also has a HEMA-free builder gel collection as another alternative. Is HEMA-free gel polish recommended for those with sensitive nails and skin? Yes, HEMA-free builder gel is a safer option for those with sensitive nails and skin. By eliminating the HEMA chemical, it reduces the chance of an irritant reaction or an allergic reaction. Nail products with higher levels of HEMA are more likely to cause heat spikes during the curing process. Our original BIABs have less than 20% HEMA, our All-in-One BIABs have about 10%, and our HEMA-Free collection has 0% HEMA. What is the difference between TGB HEMA-Free BIABs and the original BIABs? The original TGB builder gels have less than 20% HEMA and typically do not need a base coat. Our HEMA-free builder gels have 0% HEMA and need the HEMA-Free Bond Base gel before application.
