What Does 12-Free Mean?

A 12-Free label signifies that our product is free from the 12 most toxic substances often present in conventional gel and nail polishes.

Ambedo Solid Gel Polish Excludes:

Formaldehyde – Typically used to harden polish, formaldehyde is a recognised carcinogen. Prolonged exposure may trigger skin irritation, allergies, and has connections to cancers of the respiratory system.

Toluene – Responsible for the strong, chemical aroma in some polishes, toluene ensures even dispersion of colour pigments for a smooth finish. However, inhalation or contact may harm the nervous system, causing headaches, dizziness, or nausea, and is suspected to heighten risks of developmental issues during pregnancy.

Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) – Acting as a plasticiser and solvent, DBP enhances polish flexibility to resist chipping. Yet, skin absorption is linked to reproductive harm, fertility challenges, and congenital abnormalities.

Camphor – Artificial camphor lends a high-shine effect but may induce nausea, migraines, or lightheadedness with prolonged use.

Formaldehyde Resin – Though it strengthens nails, this derivative can irritate skin and compromise immune function.

Xylene – Used to maintain a smooth consistency, xylene’s harsh vapours (common in industrial products like adhesives) may damage vital organs, including the liver and kidneys, upon overexposure.

Parabens – These preservatives, prevalent in cosmetics, mimic oestrogen and are tied to hormonal disruptions.

Fragrances – Synthetic scents often contain undisclosed chemical blends that may provoke rashes, itching, or worsen skin conditions like eczema.

Phthalates – Added to increase product malleability, these chemicals are associated with heightened cancer risks.

Ethyl Tosylamide – This plasticiser and film-forming agent improves polish durability but raises concerns due to limited safety data.

Triphenyl Phthalate (TPHP) – A dual-purpose plasticiser and flame retardant, TPHP’s potential endocrine-disrupting effects remain under scrutiny.

HEMA – known for its adhesive properties, uncured HEMA can cause severe skin allergies and sensitivities.

By avoiding these ingredients, Ambedo prioritises safety without compromising on vibrant colour, longevity, or shine. Our formula champions wellness, ensuring your nail routine keeps you beautiful both inside and out.

1. Impermeable, Protective Shield
Gel polish cures into a hardened, non-porous "armour" under UV/LED light, sealing the nail surface. Unlike traditional polish—which remains soft, permeable, and allows harmful substances to seep into the nail bed—cured gel acts as an impenetrable barrier. This blocks absorption of unwanted chemicals, safeguarding your health.

2. UV/LED Exposure: Minimal & Misunderstood
A full gel manicure involves 6–10 minutes total of curing under a nail lamp— It would take 250 manicures to equal just 10-20 minutes in midday sun exposure. LED lamps emit 99% less UV than tanning beds, and dermatologists confirm the risk is negligible. Daily sunlight (e.g., walking outside) poses far greater UV exposure than years of gel use.

3. Clean, Health-Focused Formulas
High-quality gels are formulated without the most harmful ingredients found in traditional polishes. Gel’s cured layer locks ingredients on the nail, not in your body, ensuring safer use over time.

4. Durability Prevents Damage
Traditional polish chips quickly, exposing nails to water, detergents, and bacteria. Gel’s chip-resistant shield protects nails from daily wear, reducing splits and breaks. Fewer touch-ups = preserving nail health.

5. No Smudging, Instant Cure
Wet traditional polish takes at least 15 minutes to dry, risking contamination or accidental ingestion. Gels cure instantly under light, eliminating smudges and bacterial adhesion.

6. Long-Lasting Vibrant Colour
Gel’s glossy finish resists fading, scratches, and dullness for weeks. Traditional polish thins and degrades within days, requiring constant reapplication.

7. Eco-Conscious & Cost-Effective
Fewer manicures mean less waste and long-term savings. Gel’s endurance reduces product consumption and salon visits.

8. Myth-Busting Safety
Critics sometimes argue that curing "traps" harmful substances, but in reality, the polymerisation process transforms gel into an inert, stable material. Polymerisation is a chemical reaction where small molecules (monomers) bond together to form a solid, durable structure. This creates a non-porous, protective layer that locks everything in place. Unlike traditional polish, which releases fumes and remains permeable as it dries, cured gel is solid, non-toxic, and completely safe.

Gel polish combines safety and performance. Its impermeable shield blocks chemical absorption, while UV/LED exposure is trivial compared to daily sunlight. With clean formulas and lasting durability, gels protect your health, nails, and wallet—proving beauty need not come at a cost.

To use our solid gel nail palette, you’ll need a lamp and brush. Don’t worry—Starter Kit got you covered, so you’re ready to go!

Our Solid Nail Gels are easy to remove on both acrylic (fake) and natural nails.

On natural nails use our acetone-based foil wraps.

On Acrylics, if you have used our Bio-Based Nail Glue, just soak in alcohol/acetone for a non-damaging and easy removal.
