O esmalte de unha transmite agentes patogênicos que causam infecções?

Dois estudos científicos independentes confirmam que esmalte tradicional. products do not harbour microbes, so it is not likely that any pathogen could be spread to cause infections. Water-based cosmetic products typically contain preservatives to prevent microbial contamination, when they are sold in multi-use packages. Solvent based nail esmalte produtos (por exemplo esmalte tradicional.Lacas, esmaltes e vernizes, camada de base, top coats) provide a hostile environment for patógenos and prevent microbial contamination even when the bottle and the pincel. são usados repetidamente (dupla imersão) e, portanto, não são necessários ou adicionados conservantes adicionais. Os esmaltes de uso profissional são essencialmente misturas de corantes, formadores de filme e outros aditivos sem água e à base de solvente. Alguns questionaram o uso de produtos de esmalte de unha em salões de beleza por causa da preocupação com o possível aumento do risco de transmissão de micróbios quando um pincel de esmalte é reutilizado em várias clientes.

Diversos estudos científicos independentes, conduzidos pelo Conselho de Segurança dos Fabricantes de Unhas (NMC) da Associação Profissional de Beleza, demonstram que os produtos de esmalte à base de solvente matam agressivamente todos os micróbios que possam ser apanhados inadvertidamente por um pincel de esmalte, portanto, o uso repetido de produtos de esmalte NÃO representa um risco de infecção para os clientes do salão.

No primeiro estudo, produtos de esmalte não abertos foram intencionalmente misturados com altas concentrações de sete microrganismos comuns associados a infecções nas unhas ou na pele, seguidos de testes de laboratório para determinar se algum desses micróbios poderia sobreviver ou se reproduzir. Os produtos testados continham volátil orgânico solvente usado quase universalmente por todos os fabricantes (por exemplo acetato de etila, acetato de butilaálcool isopropílico, etc.), que normalmente compõem 60-70% da formulação do esmalte de unha. Esses produtos de esmalte para unhas foram inoculados individualmente com uma alta concentração de microrganismos vivos e, em seguida, testados imediatamente e periodicamente por 14 (quatorze) dias para garantir que não houvesse crescimento de microrganismos.

Resultados: em todos os produtos de esmalte de unha testados, os micróbios introduzidos foram rapidamente destruídos e não houve novo crescimento, mesmo após 14 (quatorze) dias.

Conclusão: Os produtos de esmalte de uso profissional que não contêm água como ingrediente e são, em sua maioria, feitos de materiais orgânicos solventes. podem destruir rapidamente os micróbios, o que explica por que esses produtos não exigem os conservantes cosméticos tradicionais. Esses resultados demonstram que os micróbios não podem viver em produtos de esmalte sem água e que qualquer micróbio introduzido acidentalmente seria rapidamente destruído. Esses resultados também demonstram que um produto de esmalte de uso profissional usado adequadamente pode ser aplicado com segurança a vários clientes do salão de beleza porque os solventes orgânicos são um impedimento eficaz contra a contaminação microbiana.

Definition:<\/strong> Ethyl acetate is a commonly used solvent in nail polish formulations. It plays a crucial role in dissolving and suspending various components, including pigments, polymers, and additives, within the nail polish mixture. Ethyl acetate evaporates during the drying process, leaving behind the desired color and finish on the nails.<\/p>\n
\n

Usage:<\/strong> Ethyl acetate is an essential ingredient in nail polish production, ensuring that the different components blend seamlessly and evenly. As it evaporates during the polish's drying phase, it contributes to the creation of a smooth, long-lasting, and beautifully colored nail finish.<\/p>\n
\n

Example in a sentence:<\/em> \"Thanks to ethyl acetate, this nail polish effortlessly combines vibrant colors and essential components, resulting in a manicure that boasts both durability and eye-catching beauty.\"<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_ad55109603332eff6e823196bebea1c2":"

Butyl Acetate<\/div>
\n

Definition:<\/strong> Butyl acetate is a common solvent used in nail polish formulations. It serves as a key ingredient that helps dissolve and suspend other components, such as pigments, polymers, and additives, in the nail polish mixture. Butyl acetate evaporates as the polish dries, leaving behind the desired color and finish on the nails.<\/p>\n
\n

Usage:<\/strong> Butyl acetate is crucial in nail polish production as it ensures that the various components mix evenly and smoothly. As the solvent evaporates during the drying process, it leaves behind the beautiful and long-lasting nail color that we all love.<\/p>\n

A cosmetic product that coats the nails with a colour or clear film for strength and\/or an aesthetic quality. It is full of solvents that dry by evaporation.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_c0fe0b3a4644dbc02acdaadbe8507e77":"

Base Coat<\/div>
Nail Base Coat\n

Base coats are used in nail coatings and are designed to have good adhesion to the nail plate. In a traditional nail polish it can also prevent any staining by the colour coating.

It is essential to use with a UV gel system (unless the specific brand has been formulated with its own adhesion properties) as it will adhere to the nail plate and also to the subsequent layers.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_b1c0d6ac2b2d57b70735cc3036131694":"

Pathogen<\/div>
Pathogen\n

A pathogen is the term used to describe an organism (any organism) that can produce disease. <\/p>\n
\n

Viruses, Bacteria\u00a0and Fungi\u00a0are 3 typical pathogens that we can come into contact within the nail salon or podiatry practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_9843bc23081fef2cff592ef11faca6fd":"

Volatile<\/div>

It is a substance that easily evaporates at normal temperatures. Examples of volatile substances include alcohol, thinners, acetone, solvents in nail polishes, and gasoline.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_c6feb798033704c5474f9d7f80ecf8b9":"

Organic<\/div>
\n

Organic refers to products or ingredients that are derived from natural sources and have not been treated with synthetic chemicals or pesticides. Organic products are often used in nail care to minimize exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_5d9a553b829690f7eecc611184e17273":"

Solvents<\/div>
\n

Solvents (in the context of nail products as water is a solvent) are chemicals such as acetone, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, butyl acetate, toluene. They are able to dissolve certain products or break their bonds. They are commonly used in nail polishes and nail polish removers. They are usually volatile and are the method used to dry nail polish as they keep the product liquid until they are exposed air and will evaporate and leave the pigments and other ingredients (such as plastisers etc) as a nail coating. They are also used in nail plate dehydrators to cleanse and degrease the nail in the preparation for a coating application.<\/p>\n
\n

Pathogens (with the possible exception of fungal spores) are unable to survive in a product with a high level of solvents. This is why it is safe to use nail polish on several clients without spreading any pathogens<\/p>\n

There are many different brushes needed by a nail professional. e.g an L&P brush which needs to be a natural Kolinsky sable brush so it can hold the monomer liquid and pick up the polymer powder as a bead; UV gel brushes are usually nylon or other man made fibre. Nail art brushes are usually a variety of natural fibres. All have different uses and all much be kept clean to provide long usage.<\/p>\n<\/div>"}}; -->
