Acrylates in gel-like nail polishes?

Pergunta: Hi, I am a nail polish user and was watching the video for allergies-and-how-they-happen – could the acrylates present in the gel-like nail polishes such as Revlon Gel Envy and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel pose allergic reactions (I minimize the chance of getting the product onto my skin) but I also get dyshidrotic eczema on my hands. Am I better off using normal nail polish without any acrylates? Many thanks.

Resposta: Normalmente, os esmaltes de unha não apresentam problemas com acrilatos, mas as pessoas podem se tornar sensíveis a qualquer coisa. Algumas das novas coberturas no mercado têm acrilatos de baixo nível que endurecem com o tempo na luz ambiente.
There are acrylates in nail polish but they are usually polymers, so not ‘reactive’.
Minha sugestão seria experimentar a marca escolhida em um dedo (evitando a pele) e ver o que acontece.

Sorry, I can’t be more helpful but everyone is an individual. If you are concerned, maybe get a dermatological patch test (mentioning acrylates). Then you will know exactly what you need to avoid.

If you’re experiencing discomfort or Sensações de queimação during your UV gel nail application, it’s important to understand whether this is normal or a sign of a problem.
