Free of parabensFree of sulfatesFree of mineral oilFree of formaldehyde releasersContains alcoholContains fragranceContains essential oilsContains EU-26 allergensContains silicones
Formulation view Gel nail polish using nitrocellulose and acrylic copolymers as the film-forming base. Volatile solvents ensure quick drying, with silica for viscosity control. Ideal for manicure care. Factory observation: High organic solvent content requires balancing volatility with curing time; contains sensitizers like diacetone alcohol, necessitating excellent ventilation in production.

Ingredients explained
- Ethyl Acetate
- Organic solvent/fragrance carrier, fast evaporation; ventilation needed during production
- Butyl Acetate
- Volatile solvent and fragrance; has distinct odor, used as diluent, high levels can irritate nasal passages.
- Nitrocellulose
- Film former for nail/gel products; insoluble in water, requires organic solvents, flammable.
- Polyester-23
- Not decoded yet
- Acetyl Tributyl Citrate
- Acetylated citrate ester; plasticizer and fragrance carrier
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Stearalkonium Bentonite
- Stearylkonium bentonite for gel formation and thickening; cationic, check compatibility
- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil
- Euterpe oleifera fruit oil; rich in oleic and palmitic acids for conditioning
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer
- Polyol acid anhydride copolymer film former; adjust load for durability and feel.
- Diacetone Alcohol
- Diacetone alcohol used as solvent and fragrance; aromatic ring may cause sensitization, monitor concentration.
- Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate
- Sucrose acetate isobutyrate film former and plasticizer; provides gloss and protection, low sensitization.
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Maltol
- Maltol, a flavor enhancer and skin tonic. Distinct caramel scent; high doses mask other fragrances.
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- Phosphoric Acid
- Strong buffering agent for pH control; highly irritant, requires precise concentration management
- Ci 15850
- Synthetic dye, red 57; restricted to hair dyeing in EU, not for topical cosmetics.
- Ci 77266
- Zinc oxide; white physical sunscreen pigment, low antibacterial activity, high levels yield white/cream appearance
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
