Inspired for and by professionals and consumers, backed by science, in-house research and Fiabila’s unconditional commitment to safety for all, including prevention of sensitization risks, the French supplier’s new UV Gel concepthas won a 100% satisfaction rate from consumers [1].
Preventing sensitization risks
Its formula is composed of oligomers, mainly, and monomers chosen from among the least sensitizing. Oligomers are an irreversible assembly of monomers. Their size limits their penetration into the skin, unlike that of smaller monomers.
Fiabila has thus taken a key step forward by offering a professional and performing UV Gel concept which, when integrated into a classic manicure routine – Base coat, 2 UV Gel applications, Top coat – reduces total exposure to sensitizing agents.
“This development is the fruit of a unique two-year process carried out by our R&D laboratory. We directly interviewed practitioners and consumers to assess their perceptions and observations concerning sensitization to UV Gel polishes. They were confronted with this issue. We worked extensively on all formulation options, based on scientific, toxicological and regulatory studies, until we identified the key role of oligomers in reducing exposure to sensitizing materials. Naturally, we kept in mind our obligation to deliver professional results,” said Fiabila in a statement.
Founded in 1977 by Pierre Miasnik, Fiabila is headed by Filippo Manucci, its Chairman and CEO since March 2024. The company employs over 500 people, including 55 dedicated to R&D worldwide, in 10 plants in 6 countries: France, Poland, India, Japan, USA and Brazil.
