Information
We include information about allergies in all our orders at the bottom of the packing slip.
At Nailster, we believe that beauty should never come at the expense of health. Our mission is not only to provide great products – it is also to inform, guide, and take responsibility. That’s why we continue our work to strengthen both our own standards and the industry we are part of.
We are transparent about the risk of allergies associated with uncured UV/LED nail products, and we believe it is important to provide information about this, which we approach with responsibility and care.
At Nailster, we take our responsibility and the risk of allergies very seriously. Since opening the doors to salon-quality nails at home in 2019, we have always strived to be uncompromisingly transparent in our communication, so our customers can purchase Nailster products with peace of mind and feel well-informed about product safety.
To reduce the risks associated with using “home kits,” we place strong emphasis on clearly communicating the potential for allergic reactions to uncured products across all aspects of our communication, guides, and marketing.
That is why we at Nailster have gathered a selection of all the initiatives we implement daily to inform and protect our customers – so they can feel safe on their nail journey.
We include information about allergies in all our orders at the bottom of the packing slip.
We clearly emphasize that the product must not come into contact with the skin – this information is provided on packaging, guides, packing slips, and through QR codes linking to our guide universe.
We provide information about ingredients and correct product usage on each individual product page on our website.
We inform customers about the correct use of our products in our Learning Universe, which has been developed in collaboration with certified nail technicians and is continuously updated.
Our ingredients are always listed on every product page, so you know exactly what you're applying to your nails. We strive to use the gentlest acrylates available on the market without compromising on quality.
We’re glad that people continue to pay attention to the use of our products, as it allows us to communicate openly about their contents.
We know that allergic reactions can occur with personal use of gel products, but by using our Learning Universe, you are guided toward safe and secure product application.
Selective use of acrylates
The three acrylates identified by the Asthma and Allergy Association as the most allergenic – MMA, HEMA, and DIHEMA – are not found in any of our products. This is a deliberate choice to reduce the likelihood of allergic reactions. We always prioritize our customers’ safety – from production to product use.
At Nailster, we believe that when we provide our customers with clear and reliable information about both the contents and correct use of our products, we not only create beautiful nails – we also create peace of mind, insight, and the opportunity to make informed choices.
For us, honest communication is not just an ambition – it’s a given. We prioritize being honest in everything we say and share. Because beauty should never come at the expense of health. Beauty should uplift you, empower you, and be something you can enjoy with a clear conscience.
That’s why we are committed to constantly improving – both in our products and in the way we communicate. Our goal is to ensure that you, as a customer, can always create beautiful nails with peace of mind. We have taken – and will continue to take – responsibility for ensuring safety in everything from usage to information.
Our guide universe has been developed in collaboration with certified nail technicians to guide our customers in home use.
We provide clear information about ingredients, usage, and risks – both on our labels, in the materials included with every order, and in all content within our guide universe – to reduce the likelihood of allergic reactions.
"Acrylates can cause an allergic reaction upon direct skin contact, so keep the product away from the skin."
This clear communication helps ensure that all our customers understand the importance of proper application.
At Nailster, we take our responsibility seriously – both toward our customers and within the industry we are a part of. That is why we have entered into a close and trusted collaboration with Bureau Veritas, one of the world’s leading companies in the inspection, classification, consultancy, and certification of chemical products and processes.
Together with Bureau Veritas, we ensure that our products comply with all applicable legal requirements and safety standards. Bureau Veritas provides ongoing guidance on regulatory requirements, assessment of documentation, and proper labeling. They also assist with expert evaluations of the ingredients used in our products.
Nailster’s products and ingredients are registered and monitored by Bureau Veritas in accordance with EU legislation, including the Cosmetics Regulation. This ensures full traceability and transparency, allowing our customers to feel confident in the products they use.
We are continuously working to strengthen our control and documentation processes and are committed to expanding the collaboration to include specific testing procedures in the future.
The close partnership with Bureau Veritas is a key part of our promise to deliver high-quality gel products with a focus on safety, transparency, and regulatory compliance. For us, it’s not just about beautiful nails – it’s about offering beauty with care and responsibility.
In recent years, the EU has tightened legislation on acrylates in cosmetic products for home use—an adjustment we fully support and gladly comply with to ensure our products can be used safely by everyone. The EU continually assesses risks and has chosen to restrict only certain acrylates (such as HEMA). The acrylates we use are fully legal and assessed as safe when used correctly.
At Nailster, like others in the industry, we encourage consumers to choose products manufactured and sold within the EU, where the regulation and control of ingredients—including acrylates—are thorough and designed to protect consumers. At the same time, we are concerned that highly allergenic products remain easily accessible through international platforms, where EU regulations regarding ingredients and labeling are not necessarily followed.
We therefore support stricter measures to prevent the sale of such products to EU countries, as they hinder real progress in reducing the number of allergy cases.
When you choose our products, we stand by the contents because we can guarantee that they comply with all regulations.
Cured with care – for both durability and skin safety
A proper curing process is essential to prevent small uncured molecules from remaining in the product. We design both our gel products and UV lamps to work optimally together. This ensures complete curing and reduces the risk of allergies.
We stand by our customers
At Nailster, we are committed to our customers. We work hard to deliver safe and user-friendly products, and we take every inquiry seriously.
Our customers are our top priority, which is why our customer service team is always ready to help with any questions or concerns. If a customer experiences signs of an allergic reaction related to our products, we always encourage them to contact our customer service immediately. Our team is ready to offer guidance and find the best possible solution – and to learn from every experience.
In our collaborations with influencers, we place great emphasis on ensuring that our products are presented accurately and responsibly. We make sure that all partners receive clear information about proper use, and we ask them to refer their audiences to our guide universe, which has been developed in collaboration with certified nail technicians.
In this way, we ensure that their followers gain access to professional guidance – so everyone can create beautiful nails in a safe and secure way, without compromising nail health.
We know that our customers appreciate us – and we appreciate them. We are truly grateful to everyone who continues to support us, allowing us to keep improving and delivering products that both inspire and make a difference in everyday life.
For us, it's not just about nails – it's about the feeling of doing something good for yourself.
