A Guide to Ingredients, Safety, and Precautions
Hey Gorgeous! We want you to know everything there is about your nailwraps! What's actually in them and how to make sure they’re safe for you to use. Nail wraps are a super convenient and stylish way to get that salon look without the hassle, but knowing the ingredients and any possible precautions can give you extra peace of mind (and keep your nails looking flawless)!
At EZYNails, we believe in transparency and giving you all the info you need to feel fabulous and safe with your manicure. So, here’s a simple guide on the ingredients found in our range of nailwraps, why they’re there, and what you should know about them.
Our Single Supplier
Firstly, our supplier supplies a majority of the nailwraps you see for sale locally and overseas and you'll likely see similar designs on all our sites. At EZYNails we're aiming to get to the point where we have custom designs, baby steps though as we're just a small market. We only stock non-toxic nailwraps.
Key Ingredients in Nail Wraps and Their Purpose
Polyacrylic Acid - This is a flexible material that helps the wraps stick to your nails and stay on longer. It’s also commonly used in nail products to keep them from chipping or peeling.
Polyurethane-11 - This ingredient adds strength and durability, so the wraps stay smooth and intact, even if you’re typing or using your hands all day.
Cellulose Acetate Butyrate - A plant-based ingredient that helps the wraps keep their shape and resist cracking, so they look as good on day 7 as they did on day 1.
Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer - This mouthful of a compound creates a protective barrier, making the wraps last longer and keeping them from getting damaged easily.
Pigments and Colors - These are the colorants that give the wraps their gorgeous designs! Most are mineral-based and free from harsh chemicals to make them safer for your nails.
Solvents like Butyl Acetate & Ethyl Acetate - These help the wraps stick smoothly to your nails. You’ll often find these in nail polishes, too.
Additional Ingredients That May Be Included in Certain Wraps:
- Color Additives (like D&C Red No.6, D&C Yellow No.10, etc.): These pigments provide the beautiful range of colors, approved for cosmetic use.
- Titanium Dioxide & Mica - These minerals create shimmery or bright finishes, adding that pop of shine or sparkle to your nail wraps.
- Black Iron Oxide, Aluminum Powder, Bismuth Oxychloride - These add metallic or dark tones and shine, perfect for achieving bold or shimmery designs.
- Fragrance Compounds - A light fragrance might be added for a pleasant scent when you open the pack.
Are These Ingredients Safe?
Yes! our range of Nail wraps are generally designed to be safe for use and avoid harsh chemicals. They’re often a safer choice than traditional nail polish because they’re free from chemicals like formaldehyde, DBP, and toluene, which can be found in some polishes.
However, it’s always a good idea to be aware of the ingredients and take precautions if you have specific sensitivities.
Precautions & Tips for Safe Use
While these nail wraps are made with safe, approved ingredients, here are a few tips to make sure you’re using them as safely as possible:
Check for Allergies or Sensitivities
If you know you have sensitive skin or certain allergies (like to fragrances or colorants), take a look at the ingredients list. Try testing a small patch on one nail before applying the wraps fully, especially if you’re using them for the first time.
Use in a Ventilated Area
Solvents like Butyl Acetate and Ethyl Acetate can give off a mild odor, so it’s best to apply your wraps in a space with good airflow. It’s rare for these to cause issues, but it’s always good to play it safe.
Avoid Prolonged Contact with Skin
Nail wraps are meant for nails, not skin! When applying, be careful not to stick the wraps directly onto your skin around the nail, as adhesives and colorants can sometimes cause mild irritation.
Gentle Removal
When it’s time to switch things up, don’t peel the wraps off forcefully. Gently soak in warm, oil or soapy water to loosen them, preventing any damage to your nails.
Give Your Nails a Break
If you wear nail wraps regularly, it’s a good idea to give your nails a break every few weeks. This lets your nails “breathe” and keeps them looking healthy and strong.
Why Choose Nail Wraps Over Regular Nail Polish?
Nail wraps are not only easy and mess-free but often come with fewer harsh chemicals than traditional nail polishes. They’re a quick way to get salon-quality nails without the long drying times or exposure to strong chemicals, making them a great option for people who are mindful of what they put on their bodies.
