Q:Why have you changed the formula?
We have not changed the formula of our original gel polish range, but according to the new EU regulations regarding cosmetics, issued on 6th of July 2021, we expanded our already extensive product line to give our users the absolute best choice of high-quality products within the nail industry. We are proud for being an innovative brand by launching new products for our RONIKI users. The HEMA Free range demonstrates our commitment to bring new and exciting ranges to the market.
Q:What is HEMA and why has it been removed?
HEMA is hydroxyethyl methacrylate which is used as a main ingredient to polymerize the gel polish. HEMA is considered the No. 1 allergen in gel polish products. Therefore, removing HEMA grants home users and end users the ability to do manicure by themselves. It also grants nail technicians the ability to offer their services to clients who have shown signs of an allergy.
According to the EC requirement EC 1229/2003, HEMA formula can still be included in gel polish but only for professional nail technicians who have the experience to correctly deal with possible allergic reactions to HEMA.
Q:Will the new formula affect the quality of the gel?
It will not. We are proud of our top-quality RONIKI products, and our top-quality HEMA Free range which will enable nail technicians to apply a perfect long-lasting gel polish.
Q:Will this affect the curing process?
It will not. Our RONIKI gel polishes are all manufactured and tested to cure perfectly with our RONIKI lamp ensuring no issues with the curing process.
Q:Do I need to do anything differently when working with HEMA Free products?
The application process should be 100% the same as before. Removing HEMA will not affect anything on the whole application process.
